Trap17 Forum Should Be Simple Machine And Remove Those Ads

ProtoMan
I think Trap17 's forum should be changed to Simple Machines instead of Invision Power Board , Simple Machines is easier to use , simple and quick as well as the quality is better than Invision Power Board too but that is just what I think. And more , Trap17 should remove those annoying Advertisements on the forum , why Trap17 provided Free Web Host without Ads and Trap17 's Forum don't ? Note that those are just what I think so if you don't agree , please not mad smile.gif

because instead of putting the ads on YOUR site they put them on the forums. that is why the ads are there, and will forever be there unless you want to match the maount of money they make with those ads?

invision power board is way more known than SMF is, and it would take way to much to even bother with re-writing the codes that are used for the free webhosting.

Frankly speaking, SMF isnt a very good board and they can never be compared to paid boards like IPB and vBulletin... And please, IPB is a more well known and renown board, they can really attract more members than SMF and usually members goes for paid boards like IPB and vBulletin instead of free boards like SMF or phpBB... And a change of board would require a full load of work including a porting over of databases and a rescript of the credits code... And if one day trap17 would to turn into free boards like SMF permanently, I maybe will leave this place...

Ads here are very important as these ads are the only main source that are supporting our free ads-free hosting... And how does the ads here bug you? If you have time you can click those ads and help out trap17 abit and continuing our hosting here...

trap17's main source for money comes from computing host. the Ad's are there for the extra support in money that is needed.

Those ads is what enables us to have free hosting! I haven't complained once because I am not paying for my hosting and it is quality hosting. If you don't want to be hosted here you can simply move. no one is forcing you to stay here. tongue.gif

Well, Invision has been used on these forums for quite some time now. and there is a reason for this. With all that goes on here its the easyiest and most advanced software that I know of for using as a forum board, its also the most expensive but that doesent really matter as long as this software really helps with managing forum posts and users etc, thats why they prefer using these boards.

Thanks to all who replied in this thread but can you tell me what is the defference between a Simple Machines Forum and a Invision Power Board except the layout , Invision Power Board is not free and some small things ? Is it really better than Simple Machines ? Thank you very much.

It's like driving a car with many features verses driving a car that gets you from point A to point B.

If all you want to accomplish is to create a forum for discussions SMF will do just fine. But while creating a forum you want to give an "experience" of being a forum member then IPB is the way to go.

Trap17 turned off this feature because of heavy loading time but IPB can have each forum a customized skin. Skin is the theme for colors, backgrounds, icons etc. So picture each forum section you enter can have different skin--that's the power of IPB. And that's just one aspect of this script.

But like I said, all you want to create is a nice forum SMF would be your best choice...especially for free.

And try stay within a single topic per post.

    understand that to protect from spam and what not some posts need reviewing but at the end of the
    day, being a hosted member means two things: One is that im probably going to be an active and good
    member of the forums and not spam anyway and Two: that if i do spam you can just take my hosting

  5. Adobe Flex/flash/actionscript Forum - There is a need (1)
    With Flash Player 9 on practically every PC, a lot of web developers are moving to Abobe Flex, Flash
    and Actionscript as a development platform. I've seen a few posts related to the platform and I
    feel that a dedicated forum is more than warranted. Flash discussions could fall under web design
    as a sub-forum, while actionscript could fall under Programming Languages. There is also MXML to
    consider. It's Adobe's custom mark-up language for flash components. But these are just
    suggestions. Hopefully forum admins will look further into this issue and find it vi...

    in one day by the same person around the same time. I'm asking for the removal or change of the
    assembly and delphi forum because there is not a thing that really contributes to the users of

    system, though, where coders are bidding down their price so low that they're not going to make
    any money for their efforts. Maybe the forum should have a 'minimum wage', flat rates or
    payscale that members agree to follow. Maybe we can all contribute to the structure so that it's

  11. Trap17 Home Page Banner Mistake - (3)
    I just now noticed that the flash banner at the top of trap17's home page has an error. It says
    "THE BEST YOU CAN FIND ON WEB". Obviously it should read "on THE web" since "the web" is the phrase
    always used to refer to the internet, and not just web. This is about as major and noticeable a

    sure there are many pet lovers out there (me being one) who would want a section like this. Some of
    you might know this site: fishforums.net. It's a very active and popular fish/aquatics site for
    info and many things. Why can't we have it here? In this fish section could also be an aquatic

    typing your username and password at each task page, have users log in upon the access of
    http://www.trap17.com/process/ , and present a task list. -Beautify the pages a wee bit - add a bit
