i (personally) need it for archiving the content.
so i get all the posts/thread without setting up a database + forum

you can open html everywhere, no need for (local) server. with no effort. for every system, for every user.
you can open html in 50 years, too.

you can archive only one or a few topics, not the whole forum.

you can give the archive to other ppl, and you don't have to clear the database (passwords, e-mail-adresses, privates messages, etc), because the html files only contain the public content!

would be very useful,
if there would be a tool, which could save all threads as static html files (one thread = one html)

Someone knows, if there exists something like this?

kinda too much work, if you'd have to do it manually.

Err, what do you mean?

I am searching for a "search term" or a name of this service/method/mechanism/function:
"http://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.punbb.org"

So that I can find a tutorial or something about it,
how to set it up at my server, how it works, etc.

Sure, just create a PHP script with something like this:

Uff, I am a PHP noob.

Is there keyword for that "mechanism", that you could give me?
So I could google something more about it.

You wouldn't be able to see any data about the referring page necessarily, other than the URL

Yeah. But, if I would change to user friendly url (with punbb3), the admin of the linked page could read the category or the threadtitle of my forum. And that's something, I don't want him to -.- And on the other hand I dont want to miss user friendly urls.

You may try a redirection using google, so that I suppose Google will appear as the referer.

Ah, cool.
Would it be possible, that I host such a service by myself?
eg:

my forum: example.org/forum/

And I want to use "example.org/url?q=http://www.punbb.org" for extern links in my forum,
so that the refer(r)er is "example.org" and not "example.org/forum/"

If I click at a link in my PunBB, the target sees the forum url as refer(r)er.
How can I disable it for all extern links in the forum?

I don't want the target pages to know, that they are linked in my forum.
It's a private/hidden forum, and in future the category names could tell "something", I don't want others to know.
Also: I don't want someone to know about the url, although the forum is hidden (at the moment it isn't linked anywhere on the net, but if someone would publish the referrer lists...)

Hello!

I want to run a PunBB on my privat website.
But I dont want it badly (i could wait some time...).

Should I install the 1.2.14 now
or might it be better, if I wait for a next "big update" (if there is one? in 2006 I read something about it, but cant remember...)

I set up a PunBB (it's my first, I like the philosophy behind it)

Guest shall have the right to post new topics and responses
and there should be no verification email, if someone wants to register.

So, I think, I will need an anti-spam-mod, am I right?

I searched punres.org and found:

Aksimet
Captchabox
Spam protection

Which one should I use?
Or maybe two, or maybe all three?
Or maybe something completly different?
