Free Invision Boards -- Just Wondering
« on: December 22, 2004, 03:57:58 am »
I know a lot of you guys are into Invision Board skins and stuff. I'm thinking of opening an Invisionfree-like service, except it would automatically create a full-blown IPB. Would anyone be interested in this? I have really reliable servers, and it would be great for testing your skins out. :)

Regards,
Steve

Would that be legal?

Yes, of course! It would be a 1.3 board, though, just to keep everything legal. I know someone that does it, everything is completely fine. IPB 1.3 is/was free software.

Oh Ok. I thought you were talking about 2.0. That sounds like a great idea.

Alright, thanks. I was just wondering if anyone here would actually use this resource. I mean, it's more flexible than Invisionfree since it's a full-blown board. :)

Reliable host eh? *laughs* No host is reliable. All hosts go down at least once

Sounds pretty interesting. Would it be only for testing skins, or could we actually run a forum with them?

If I wasn't using 2.0, I'd use this.

I like the idea very well. It would be good for people like me, that are too stupid to install it themselves. :P

Ssj4gogita4, I'm proud to say my host hasn't gone down ONCE since I got it in July. :)

Sean (Nice user title, lol) -- It could be for actual forums or skinning forums. Kind of like the idea of Invisionfree.

Oh, ok, lol.

(Just wondering, why doesn't ':)' work for a smiley? I think it should.)

OT: IZ (or another admin) -- Can my username be changed to 'Etab'? It's hard to remember mine is my old handle for this site. Thanks!
