Topic: could punbb become a nntp gateway?

Hi,

I'm looking for a nntp gateway which save the articles in a BD in order not to make too many connections to the newsserver.
With google, I found V bulletin could do that. see here http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthre … adid=65152
I was wondering if one day punbb could do that or if there is a mod for this?
If no, do you know a good nntp gateway script? I looked for but didn't find a good one.

thanksfully,

nobody knows?

I guess the least difficult way would be to modify that vBulletin mod to work with PunBB, but even that sounds like quite a task.

Re: could punbb become a nntp gateway?

I agree with you when you mean it would be quite difficult. It also means it is not impossible.
First, the problem is that I can't download this vbulletin hack because you must have paid to download vbulletin, even the hack.
Second, I won't be able to do that alone because I'm not good programer enough, that's why I'm asking for help to the "moder"(people who are used to making mod...)
Third, I think this nntp gateway (with a mod obviously) would be a great thing for punbb.
Fourth, I'm aware it would take a lot of time to do that mod...

thanksfully,

There was a thread a bit ago that talked about these type of boards.

Interesting concept they got going and Pun seems to handle it just fine.

carstalk.net also has the similar threads mod, which I have yet to find 8)
