phpBB forums

How hard is it to set one of these up? Do you need a computer set aside to run solely as a server? As you can probably tell im not very intellectually gifted when it comes to these, so. im interested in getting a too human forum set up. If even just for my sweet eyes . Toohuman.net is a giant clusterfuck with everything you could think of everywhere - with alot of stupid ideas in their thread make up.

So yea, how hard is phpBB to set up?

You need a computer with php and mysql. You need to create a mysql database, copy a folder, and put the mysql login in a config file. You could run it off your own computer, but that would mean leaving your computer on all the time and probably bad performance for users while you're gaming. If you plan for it to go anywhere, you're better off with a webhosting plan.

i dont do much gaming, and i never turn my computer off so that actually isnt a bad idea. Although webhosting would be ideal, im sure which costs some money yea? Is php and mysql something you could learn over a weeks time? given proper instruction

There's really no need to learn them, you just have to install them.

so its as easy as filling in information into a box and it lays the rest out for you? do you have a readme link or phpbb for idiots link laying around somewhere? id like to know what im doing before i do it.

If you want it as big as this community your going to have to advertise your ass off.
