Wow thanks guys! Appreciate your feedback.

Anyhow the forums are coding in an OOP style perl. And integrates into our site with php. Somewhat the best of both worlds. The feature list will be up in a few moments (I'm working on it now actually.) As for an admin demo I will see what we can do.

The board takes about 5 minutes to setup on any server with cgi and mySQL enabled. So you can really demo the entire thing for yourself to see if you like it. We are still looking for mirrors to host the zip files so you can start using our software. So check back in 3-5 days and you will most likely see a list of available downloads in your area.

We are just trying to start a buzz and get our community started at the moment.

Thanks again,
Jacob Rivard

Good job! The effort surely paid off.

However... The skins section doesn't work.

He would be referring to me. ;)

We'll, I was the second person to do it. Then someone else did 'i wub britney spears', and in all honesty that's just horrible! Jessica Alba and Brooke Burke are way hotter than Britney Spears, right phpcoder? :D

EDIT: Your forum appears to be down.

Not quite all sections of the site are finished. Most will be up later tonight or tomorrow.

Sorry,

Our database went down, because too many users were connected. We are searching for a new host right now. Our current one seems to have mySQL limitations, and I am on a tight budget. I will try and keep things straight for you guys though.

Regards,
Jake

How easy is it to customize the forum (ie: colors, table width, and adding an image header at top...)?

Also, what kind of controls does the administrator CP have? Can you post some pictures of it. Thanks.

These are great. Looks a lot like vbulletin. You are gonna have success in these. Thanks for the free service.

The admin CP uses the same colors as you set for your board. I will include pics in the feature list when it is done.

Customizing your forums is very easy to do. And if you are not design or graphics savvy all you have to do is upload a single folder to your admin panel skins section and you can choose which skin you want to be default. While other members of the forum can choose from their user panel.

Keep in mind our software is still in beta so not every aspect is fully fuctional. We are working very hard to release a public beta within the next week. Hope you guys can wait that long ;).

Please notice we are in alpha still! Not everythig in the site and forums is 100% fully functional. We want to start a buzz before we actually release the script.

You will be able to download the forum once it is in a BETA state(very soon.) Sorry for not clarifying earlyer.

Anyway to all you guys that remember us. I am impressed! We started working on 3B 3 years ago, and ALMOST gave up. Now we are back with a vengence. heh
