Where is something like these forums?

[Scott Jensen]

Being a regular of one of your forums (Distributed Folding), I like how your forums are set up. Do you know anyone that is willing to host for free a similarly set up forum for a non-distributed-computing project? I've toyed with the Oceania project (http://oceania.org/ ... though this specific attempt is over, others are in the works) over the years and think that if it had a nicely set up forum as these, it might possibly get somewhere. Can someone give me a lead to such a forum host? Ideally one that has a spellchecker built into theirs. Thanks!

if you need a spell checker try this:

http://www.iespell.com

it works great for forums and email also

and it helps when you are posting about how fast you climbing the stats every five minutes :rotfl:

When clicking on your link, it didn't work.

Also, I'm looking to start up a forum that isn't about a dc project. I checked www.ezboard.com, but their free version has lots of annoying pop-up ads. Wouldn't mind the sponsor have banner ads, but pop-up ads turn too many people off.

I am working on it

sorry about that :bang:

Try ikonboard, http://www.ikonboard.com/

Supp, Thanks. I'll look into that.

Anarchy, Thanks. Not exactly what I'm looking for, but nevertheless something that looks interesting. Any problems using it?

[Anarchy99]

none so far

I know it isn't exactly what you want, a better setup would be as you suggested, built in to the forum.

but this is a great little tool, I have win2k pro and IE6 it works great for me

if I find a spell checker that fits your needs I will let you know, right after I post about how I am climbing the stats like a hallucinogenic love drug crazed hippie just back from the sixties love fest at ashbury park WOW :rotfl:

Supp,

From reading the literature on the ikonboard's website, am I correct that I'll still need to host the forum I create with their software? I'm looking for a forum where it's free ... or free if you let them run banner ads on your forum.

Oops, sorry missed that point...:(
