Would anybody be willing to help me start up and create a new site? If so, post your ideas here and we can discuss about the new site. Keep in mind that this new site doesn't even have a name yet, let alone a purpose. That's where you guys come in! So go ahead and post your ideas.

Below are items that we would need to start the website:

- LEGAL IPB or vB
- Domain name (either .com or .net)
- Great coders

Please do not post any obscene ideas, like porn, because I refuse to make sites that feature obscene material.

If anybody has a LEGAL vB or IPB, please PM the details. It would be nice if somebody could get the newest version of vB or IPB.

Thanx!

Most people don't have extra IPB and vB laying around, you should start with phpBB or SMF, or another free alternative, and make the money from ads to get your own vB or IPB.

I dont think anyone would buy a vB board and not use it, so its very unlikely your find one.

I would just choose the one that you find would suit your needs better. Each board has different things to offer, and some are easier to operate than other boards, it all depends on user preference.

Some people here on this fourm prefer to use SMF, and some prefer VB and others like phpBB. phpBB forums tend to be used for the newer web developer that prefer something easier to navigate around, however the more experienced tend to prefer SMF.

In my opinion, vBulletin is only better if you like 24/7 customer support, the templates, and the interface. Other than those, vBulletin and SMFdon't really have any exceptional/striking differences.

Personally, I like SMF because there are a lot of smart modders out there that support it freely that would help me out. Additionally, I can try out stuff without having to pay a premium. Also, I just like the easy integration with other open source portals/CMS.

go to jcink.com and you can get a free ipb 1.3. Then you can just use a html <frameset> code to make it look like you have a real board, not a subdomain, and yes it is legal.

I'm using SMF and I'm very happy with it. It is free and very simple board with lot of modes.

You cannot used nulled versions of any type of software. It is against the TOS!

@ alan1987: If you use it and we find it we WILL terminate your site. I think I should ask an account manager to look into your site now I guess.

I am willing to help... I am a designer, not a coder, and I can design templates for CuteNews.

However, I am not so sure about other CMS', most of them are rather difficult to theme.

I would start off with something from opensourcecms.com in the forums section, too.
