did anyone ever look at PHPBB?

Oh yes indeed.

There are many places where you can set up a free message board environment without having to mess with the phpBB software or hosting services. Most offer all the bells and whistles that one expects of a contemporary forum--rich text formatting, embedded pix and vids, RSS, etc...(even private messaging and personal blogs with YUKU).

Here's a small sampling:
http://www.yuku.com/home/learnmore/
http://www.boardhost.com/features/
http://www.setbb.com/chat-and-forum-features.html
http://www.phorum.org/free-php-message-board-phorum.php
http://www.big-boards.com/

BUT the issue of copyright liability remains and the content-chasing lawyers will come after the owner of any forum they consider in violation of copyright.

As a (now-retired) 'basher', I carry a $2MM rider on my homeowner's policy to cover me for inintended legal consequences of my posting, but I'm not sure if it covers copyright issues.

Hi! Regarding a backup for the gang, did anyone ever look at PHPBB?

The RB has a GOV board already and it is worse than a cesspool. They make FFT look like conservatives.

IF one cold start their own board there AND be able to control it perhaps.

That is why I suggested someone ahead of time may want to look at phpBB.

I don't think you would like I-hub (investorshub) because it is limited to 15 posts per day free unless you purchase a membership. Even then you will have several SITE moderators barging in on the board.

To have an alternative available in case Bob decides this just isn't worth it, and if that is what BOB does decide, then I can only say THANKS for the wonderful time Bob and it was nice to have met you all.

Now, one of the board leaders should check out alternate sites. Please?
