Default Creating a forum like subsim

Many of my Danish friends on FB are being sending to FB-prison now and then and they are complaining about FB. I have on many occasion said that they should create a forum like the one I use, is a member. And use this for political debate.

Lately I have been thinking on creating a forum like ours Subsim-Same type.

How do you create a forum like this one ?

To be honest I seem to having problem turning theory(Reading info)to practice-Creating the forum.

What type of forum is subsim build up on ?

Edit
Been doing some reading on this page

To be honest, Markus. You already have the basis for creating a forum. Simply create a blog.

I think you may have misunderstod me here. I am not how should I put it interested in capture this forum.

My idea was to create a forum like this one, but in Danish with a Danish web-provide(I think you call them) I like the way our forum(Subsim) is made and how it works.

The major problem with blogs is that people can only discuss what I post.

I want people to post what's on their mind in right section-Like Domestic politics, Foreign politics or EU-Politics.

I know now what kind this forum is build on. It starts with P and ends with B.

It's an online Internet forum.

What I need is a host-Internet provide(Cost of course money-Monthly payment)
Then I need this web based internetforum-By downloading it from their homepage. The place where you can get this P...B 3. Something.

I'm well aware of what you seek and that is why I suggested you contact Neal.

Hi Markus,

Subsim forum is built on vBulletin, not PhPBB, look at the bottom of the page. An old version of vBulletin, but I cannot upgrade without uprooting a lot of features, like downloads. I'm ok with that, it's function that matters to me and this forum software is built like a tank.

If you want to start a forum with your friends, I suggest XenForo. It's very active, well supported, robust and has a nicer UI than vB. You can get a starter package with hosting for $60 a month.

Or you can buy a license for $160 but you have provide the hosting. Shared hosting can be pretty cheap, less than $10 a month, but that's for sites with small traffic. If it is mainly you and a few friends, that's plenty. With shared hosting, your website lives alongside others, which are neighboring users utilizing the same server. With dedicated hosting plans, your website has a server all to itself. Because of the amount of bandwidth SUBSIM uses on forum posts and mod downloads, we have a mid-tier dedicated server.

Maybe you can start a forum on Reddit? I use it occasionally, but I really don't know what the rules are for starting a sub reddit (seems like anything goes).

Or start your own Discord server, super easy.

Neal

Thank you for your answering me.

To be honest I have some doubt now and then-Reason is as Skybird wrote in another thread in GT-People is addicted to FB.

I'm doing it anyway. Create a internet forum.

Edit
Forgot three things.
1. I have come to the conclusion I need a computer nerd or similar-Sadly I'm out of contact with my Cousin-What he doesn't know about computers and homepages is not worth knowing.
2. It's not just a few friends-I presume when people see they aren't being put into prison for writing stuff that doesn't goes against Danish law-Free Speech, they will join.
Well that's my hope. So it will be more than a few.
3. Since my hope is to grow/expand -I would need moderators.

My rules will be few and simple-Follow Danish law, do not use ugly words, profanity or name calling when you post a comment or answer someone and do not link to adult pages.
End edit

Well if a person denies the holocaust s/he is free to give their expression on this. This is forbidden in France and Germany.


Well I must admit we do not have full free expression-We are not allowed to muck other races, sexuality and so on.
We have this famous paragraph 266b
Which says
Quote:
Section 266 b of the Criminal Code
Anyone who, publicly or with the intention of spreading it to a wider circle, makes a statement or other message in which a group of persons is threatened, mocked or degraded because of their race, skin colour, national or ethnic origin, faith or sexual orientation, is punished with fine or imprisonment for up to 2 years.
Mocking a religion and it's ideology is however fully acceptable.

Even our First amendment has limitations....We're not allowed to yell "Fire " in crowded movie theatres!

I've been reading your first amendment and I can't find any extra laws regarding your free speech-I was looking after some limitation like
You are not allowed to mock a person due to his or her sexual orientation.

Could not find any-Which mean that your free speech is far more free than ours. Or I been looking/searching the wrong places on the web.
