There you can host multiple forums , you now there are forums that you just can make in a few seconds, but you don't have ftp access or database access.
A example of the excellent script: http://www.sebflipper.com/mfp_phpbb_dem ... pbb_ss.php and for phpBB3 have cyberalien already make a paid script: http://www.phpbbhs.com/index.html (with plenty of explanation

)

I would love to use this script. Any updated decisions if this script going to be free or not?

I think making a script to install a FREE BBS and then charge for it defeats the whole purpose of open-source BBS's.
I really think you should make a free one because there are already jerks out there (Cyberalien) who were crappy enough to charge for it.

It's only free if you have a free web server with free bandwidth and free database access. You still have to pay for hosting. (Unless you host it at home, in which case, you're paying your ISP and likely violating their TOS and AUP) Generally what you are paying for with a script like this is the ability to commercially sell mass forums, or to give them away free and support it with ads. (inivisionfree.com I think does this?) There is almost no reason to have a script like this unless you intend to make money off of it, so they tend to be not free

Read this http://www.phpbb.com/rules/#rule1b before you consider repeating such a post. Rest assured that the next time a warning will follow.

Anything new with this MOD?

Any updates?

I host dev. forums on my private server and am not looking to spend money on something that isn't going to make me money.... I host free developmental forums with no ads on them.

So is this mod free or not?
