coded from scratch?

[Nigel]

are the TBT forums going to be coded from scratch?

 

[Jeremy]

Nope. IF/ZB still...

 

[Nigel]

Oh okay.

it would be cool if you could code the forums into the TBT website.

Thats what DL are doing.

I just thought, you coded TBT website from scratch and all the features of it, so you could code the forums from scratch to make it look even more professional and you would be able to create new features too

To create a forum from scratch, you'd need to know a lot of PHP, etc. I also highly doubt it would be better than IF/ZB. And then you'd have to host it which would cost a lot of money. You'd also loose all of the data (almost three years worth in TBT's case).

Yea, i guess, but i thought you knew PHP and actionscript (or python or whatever) and if you did code the forums from scratch you would be able to do lots more with it. eg- put everything where you want, and make the layout how you want.

Actually, the website isn't completly coded from scratch, they didn't make cutenews. And hosts don't cost alot of money, the place I'm hosted I am on a one time fee plan(No longer avalible though). I just upgraded to 2400 MB of space, 12000 MB of bandwidth, and their cheapest plan now is $3.95(?) a month. And ROFL at actionscript, that's flash's scripting engine, has slim to nothing to do with web programming unless you're making a flash driven website(bleh).
