Some people may have seen the question I asked in the skype conversation about SFT buying a domain and hosting it's own website with a fully customizable forum. I did some investigation and it is possible altough it will cost something (costs are included in a spoiler).

Introduction

SFT, Skills for thrills, the biggest clan on 2006scape currently and only 15 users on forums? That screams for some improvement! We are the biggest clan, but not many people visit the forums or even talk to any of us eventhough the memberlist is visable on the 2006scape forums. Hopefully this idea can change all that and make us a popular skiller community in 2006Scape.

I can understand, but if we want to improve a lot, some invested is required. I got 6$ on my paypal and I would be happy to donate it to Jwc towards getting a domain. If this idea can be achieved.

some domains are like 10 bucks for a year i'm pretty sure, the only thing i hope are posts and ranks can be transferred because is players lose it players will lose interest in posting.

All ranks and postcount can be restored. The are easy to add in, the postcount restoration will require a MOD. But it will be possible to give everyone their rank.

I could setup a free forum as testing

May I suggest something called ip.board. That's the host the previous 2006scape forums used and they were extremely good.

I'll check it out, thanks for the tip Smile

EDIT: Ip.board costs 10$ per month of 175$, so it's not cheaper then vBulletin or phpBB + domain.

I'm looking for a way to get the money from advertisements on the site. But lately I didn't had much time, but I'll try to spend some time on it, same for a design for the website.

Use vBulletin, very user friendly and clean looking.

I also suggest ip.board, the old 2006scape website host. That would be very cool to have as it was used for 2006Scape! It's also just as user-friendly as vBulletin, but I fear it is a bit more pricey.

Yeah, I just realised I already suggested that, and my company 'Pyramid Gaming' also looked at ip.board, it's extremely expensive, but a brilliant host.
