Zusam VS MyBB

But I didn't like the fact that it was tied to facebook. I decided to put into practice what I've learned that year at my informatics school and created forum written in php. It was not much but we liked the fact that it was ours.

Ten years later, I'm still fiddling on it and it has grown to a real open-source project that you can find on github [0]. It's still primarly here to serve me since I'm the only maintainer but starts to be driven by external propositions. It's meant to be easy to deploy, easy to use, cheap in resources and reliable.

Would Zusam work?

You could also add a link to the project and not just your blog: https://github.com/zusam/zusam

I actually came across Zusam which does video processing to some extent, so I'm thinking I'll take a closer look at that and see whether it does any downsizing or at least embeds it (all the forums I've tried so far just attach a video as a file attachment, and you download to view).

Excellent! Glad we could get you sorted! Hosting can be scary and it's okay to be afraid to touch things or not understand certain settings or terms. Especially if you're new. The key is to read the documentation. For your forum needs, this can be found at https://mybb.com and https://phpbb.com

I actually recommend myBB [0] over phpBB for anyone looking to set up a LAMP forum. It's cleaner, better written, and possibly better maintained and with a much less scary vulnerability history. I believe it started off as an attempt to create an OSS version of IPB (or was it vB?).

myBB is a forum software, yes it’s real :)

As u/Marble_Wraith mentioned. You will find more help and information at r/webdev. That being said, building a Forum is somewhat complex, if you're planning to do so from scratch without any prior knowledge this could be a challenging first task. If it's also an option to use a pre-build app, then https://mybb.com/ is a good starting point. You can also find some information on YouTube about how to get it running.

If you want something done and nobody is doing it, it is best to do it yourself.

She probably intimidated the group moderator, I can't see how any of that would have gotten you kicked out of a group. I suppose you could start your own group or even start one of those free forums like https://mybb.com/ and you decide how members will be vetted and of course everyone use a pseudonym. She probably has an alternate account that isn't her real name., hence why you can't block her. I suppose you could have an alternate account as well.

https://mybb.com/ free opensource forum software. Any Devs can set it up as a backup?

Something like this open source https://mybb.com/
