Well about the FAQ thing basically I meant a some sort of FAQ on the communityserver.com site, this is the site that provides the hosting, answering such questions as do you get an FTP account, etc,...

Im glad we got the whole, big forum, small forum issue :P
Just a thought for who ever's in charge of CommunityServer.com try an FAQ on their, that would be good.

Also 'The Wizard' Im guessing...

Oh and one more thing, if I was to get Community Server hosting would I get an ftp account?

The problem with phpbb2 is the fact that novice users may find it hard to install these 'mods' as you actually have to into the code.
Now I'm not saying phpbb2 is rubbish because I myself have a...

dog that seems a very mundane task which takes up alot of time, their are alot of automated mods out their that can do the job for you.

yeh html encoded emails are your best bet.

yep google don't like the idea of people 'stealing' and especially their money.

A bit of online and offline advertising would be usefull.... I want $10,000 now to spend! (if only!)

Yeh I think it's much simpler to use than other forum software. And the design is simply stunning even the default one.

Same with my community, at first we only had thirty members and about 5 of those remained active. However a year and a bit later and we have around 500 members and most of them are fairly active.

Yeh it's hard to forgot that it's not just about google page ranks.
Try and build up your community and the page ranks with sort themselves out, hopefully ;)

I suppose you could charge for a unique service which no other place provides. But apart from that I wouldn't really reccomend it, what about asking people to donate money? you could use paypal as a...

Use social networking sites such as myspace, bebo, etc these can really help your community grow as well as promoting the features you provide.

Oh and don't go with InvisionFree they are the worst free forum host of Invision i've ever come across their rude, aragant and never reply to support tickets.

Their are many free forum hosts out their but you have to ask yourself these questions:

1). Do you want to move to your own server in the future?
If yes it may be cheaper to start of with a...
