I want to host multiple PHPBB forums for people. Free of charge ofcourse. IT might even be IPB. But heres the twist the Google adsense adverts won't be in your face at the top i will stick em on either the right or even the bottom. IT just makes everything more simple. But before i can accomplish any of this i would require a script where people can sign up and a forum would be created. I can't find any pre made scripts and am not a competant enough coder to make one. So if anyone knows of one thats similar to invisionfree or Myfreebbs i would be eternally grateful.

Also the ads will make revenue which will pave the way for paid hosting and even further a server for use. And maybe even helping HM achieve servers.

Also if any admins read this, make a donations page where donations can be made & the amount of money is added together to ive a grand total. IKf we achieve enough cash for 12 months of dedicated servers then HM can make the switch to Dedicated servers which would be cool. I know ive gone off topic and now ive made a huge thread but i just cant help rambling on

Thanks :)

So you are looking for a script similar to that used in cpanel to setup IPB? If this is what you are talking about, check out invisionfree.com to see if they can hook you up with their script. Most websites will be nice enough to explain their scripts and even give you them.

You would need a script that would copy the contents of a certain folder to someplace else on your server space, create a new subdomain, and then run the install file automatically with minimal information from the user.

I can't think of any free scripts I have seen like this, but like i said, it doesn't hurt to ask invisionfree.com. If they refuse, you might just have to create a form that users submit and you will have to create a forum for them using cpanel...
