Just wondering what is all involved in setting up a forum like this assuming all I have is one computer right now?
I've been tossing the idea around of setting one up for something completely different, so no need to worry about stealing anything away from you guys. Not even truck or diesel related.
Same kind of deal though. I don't agree with the way one site is run and want to give it some competition. They have extremely outdated forum software and also the owners polictical views get in the way. The site has nothing to do with politics but if you're found to have a different political view than he or his wife you will be banned. It only took two days and 8 posts for me to be banned. They can't take constructive criticism at all.
Anyway if you all could give some insight on what it takes to set up a great forum like you have here that would be great. What kind of costs should I expect? What kind of equipment would I need etc...?
