It looks like a copy of the freaksceneboard to me…

I was surfing the net and came by the McCartney website (sorry it is not very J-like, but as an old Beatleslover, I couldnt resist)
They have a bulletinboard now, and it looks like it is a copy of the Freakscenboard.

Maybe it is just the way boards are put together but to me it was kind a shock. Take a look

[expect nothing]

hmmm yeaah looks kind of familer

[bob]

someone pointed me to this classic amps page and it looked exactly the same. I don’t know where jeremiah got this board from but I don’t think he built it himself

lol no ive seen towns of message boards like that one, and theres nothing wrong with liking hte beatles but htere may be something wrong with liking wings

Yeah, Jeremiah didn’t build this BB. It’s a huge project to undertake, and why bother when there are several already out there. Now there are even some really good free ones that I like better than the UBB (which Jeremiah had to buy a license for.)

We currently use UBB
*note the tag at the bottom of the bbs

UBB.classicTM 6.3.1.1

Infopop (formerly called Madrona Park) was the creator of this style of BBS (the format of threads and such) and when we started hosting our own bbs @ freakscene it was still the big dog (and free) <img> . Now that the ‘open source revolution’ has taken off as such there are many free (and pay options) that are great as well (a few :: http://www.VBulletin.com [$] , http://www.infopop.com [img]http://www.qksrv.net/image-235842-10581[/img] [$], http://www.phpbb.com [free], http://www.ikonboard.com [free], http://www.invisionboard.com/ [free], http://forum.snitz.com/ [free], ) The backends are usually the biggest difference (flat file vs database | cgi vs asp/php…). The choice between the various options usually depends on the server capabilities as well as the designers knowledge of the language used.

on a side note, we will be moving to a new bbs system over the next few days. All of the posts and members will be moved over so we should have little to no downtime <img> – We will not be moving the Private Messages though.. <img> We will leave this board up for a few days/weeks as read only after the transition so don’t be too alarmed <img>

I don’t see how they’re alike at all? This is UBB classic, the other is VBulletin. :hmm:

I know that those words are English, but I have no idea what they mean…..
