Sure, the point is noted and I have already posted there the same post. tongue

See you there.

Hello Utchin,
Thanks for your reply and recommendation. By bigger n better community, I understand, you're referring to more number of people available to help, also with more accessories for the forum.

I have been to one phpBB site, which I didn't like very much, and one punBB site, which I really liked and they had an awesome style/theme too. How's fluxBB different from these two in general?

On you reco, I am completing my registration at fluxBB now. smile

btw I have already downloaded punbb-1.2.20, Apache HTTP Server 2.2.9. and right now I am trying to figure out how to configure the apache server. cool

Hello all,
This is my first post here at punBB and I must congratulate you guys for providing us with an awesome forum building tools, out of your own interest.

I have been planning to create a art-based forum community for long, and I think now I will have few weeks to seriously put efforts into this mini-project. I know a little of C++, and Java but I would not call myself a professional programmer per se.

Now that I am at a stage to begin work right from scratch with nothing already built with me except few ideas, I need to know how much programming knowledge is necessary to develop a fully functional forum website? I do plan to include all the popular mods for my forum.

Also, the most important question here is how to stay clear from hackers? Does punBB comes equipped with some sort of default safety measures or do I have to learn some ethical hacking tricks myself and employ those to my forums in order to shoo-off the ever-interested hackers.

Any help is welcome to a no0b. smile
