Hey "Forum" dudes......
 

I am thinking about starting my own Discussion Forum (don't worry, its not a bike forum) and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations as to how to go about it. I have done a little research in this area, but admittedly, not much.

Things I must have:

Must have control, in other words, I do not want it managed for me.

Must have the ability to ban people that don't behave.

Must look professional, not cheesy.

Must be free or damned close to it, as the organization I'd be doing this for has no budget to speak of currently.

I can hook you up man. I'll email you the info.

Sweet. Thanks much.

Mongo's a forum dealer. He'll keep you hooked up. Got me hooked a few years ago, now I can't stop. Up late at night, cold sweats. Dammit Man!

Forum dealer? is that what we're calling it these days? snicker.

Haven't forgot about your offer Mongo. We have a group meeting this coming Saturday, so I should have some news for you by then.

Good deal man, just trying to help ya out. Later.

Mongo, I got the green light to do whatever I need to do.

What's next?

Shoot me a PM with your email address or just PM me on the site and we'll get it done. Later man.
