Fw: [PHP] how about using a bulletin board instead of mail list?

I am in the process of making a PHP remote hosting script group type thing.... Like we host the scripts, and user signs up to use the scripts... anyways, I am going to make a UBB using PHP (once I am done with this adrotation script), and I can get the PHP group a free board if they want... like giving back to the community (there may be ads, we are working on it right now, but if PHP users end up using the boards, they are going to signup for there own boards, so I would make money off of there ads, anyways)... So if the owners of the list are interested, I should start programing the board program sometime late this month... if the owner of the list wants one email me about it.... BTW, I may be one of the youngest PHP programers, I just turned 13 and have used PHP since I was 12.... have a good day! - Nick Catalano < nick4753@nozone.net > < nick@gamedoggy.com > -------------------------------------------------- "Sometimes the greatest ideas come from unexpected places" ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Teter" <michael_teter@yahoo.com> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Wednesday, July 05, 2000 10:28 AM Subject: [PHP] how about using a bulletin board instead of mail list? just out of curiosity, why aren't the PHP groups | served by a bulletin board system instead of a mailing | list system (aside from the obvious cost, server | requirements, etc.)? | | http://www.ultimatebb.com/ has a popular and friendly | BB system.
