Resources for Discussion Forums
Discussion Forums are very popular, as not only are they useful
(and sometimes fun), but they encourage people to regularly
visit your web site.
Here are some resources to help you set up your own discussion forum:
- ASP Discussion Forum Scripts
ASP scripts for running Discussion Forums. Requires a web host that supports ASP.
- CGI Discussion Forum Scripts
CGI and Perl scripts for running Discussion Forums. Requires a web host that supports CGI.
- PHP Discussion Forum Scripts
PHP scripts for running Discussion Forums. Requires a web host that supports PHP.
- Remotely Hosted Discussion Forum Services
Remotely hosted Discussion Forum services. These may be a good choice if your host does not support ASP, CGI or PHP.
- CBRocket
CBRocket is primarily about allowing your visitors to search
ClickBank without leaving your
web site. However, it also allows you to show ads which are targeted based
on the page's <TITLE> tag. As most discussion boards will place the
subject of a post in this tag, it means that you can easily show ads which
(usually) tie-in with the subject's of people's posts.
