Hey! PeaPod

What do you mean by "The Wizard's Work" ?

You mean the forum administrator?

The design of this board comes in a box, as modules. The administrator simply "personalized" it.
There are zillions of choices which a person can choose from. Zillions of templates like these forums are free.

It is the forum members who make this forum a "fashionable" and "enjoyable" place to be.
It has little to do with "Wizards".

Actually this forum does NOT come out of the box. Firstly, it's based off of phpBB. A percentage is custom-coded by Canadian Content Interactive media. Secondly, it does not come with modules. phpBB does not support modules and does not have a modular design.

On the next note: It is not simply personalised. The whole entire layout and setup of this forum could never be found on any other web site. If it ever did, it would be breaking copyright and intellectual property laws internationally. I could have a nice settlement.

If you can find a forum which looks like this or can find anyone who would be able to construct these forums with 'freely available' templates or modules, by all means, post the site(s) here.

Sorry, but your post is really offending.

Oh! Andem

Don't read the brievity of my comments as being rude. It just saves typing trying to expand on comments.
The internet is cold.

There may be no "exact" copy of these forums out there in Mouse Land. But, they are a dime a dozen. What have you done with this set-up that makes it different than any other? It has no more functions than those that come in a box.

If your offended with the conversation, I won't continue.

There aren't a dime a dozen like this out there. Sure the basic features are the same or similar to other forum sites, but I won't get into coding as you obviously are not a coder.

The design? Out of the box? Can you find me a site that even looks like the style we have going here? I doubt it. I know because I designed it, coding it, implemented it and even had a thread going about it while it was being designed taking requests along the way.

No more functions than out of the box? How about the quick reply, recent topics, last 24 hours, user status notification, the front page setup. Do you know the processes of running a forum? Do you know the resources it uses? Do you know what type of hardware we're running? You don't, so how do you know how it works in the background?

You don't know everything, and you're obviously not an expert on system administration and coding.

To say that this forum design is "out of the box" is absurd and ignorant.

Next thing you're probably going to say is the whole site is run on php-nuke or something :P

I never said you should not be proud of what you got here.

I'm not talking about graphics.
I'm talking about functions.

How about the quick reply, recent topics, last 24 hours, user status notification, the front page setup.

You mentioned "Quick Reply" .... yes, that is different. But all the other functions that I see, are available elsewhere in Mouse Land.

Hardware? I was not discussing the mechanics of these forums.
I was commenting that it was the users who make these forums a success and not wizards.

What are phpbb forums?

If you don't know what phpbb is, then I see no need in continuing this conversation. You said it's "out of the box", and you're wrong in anyway you meant it.

I knew what it was. I was just asking you why phpBB is on these forums.
http://phpbbhacks.com/viewhack.php?id=586

Lets just drop it.

It all began with an innocent comment in reply to a PeaPod message.

These forums are based off of phpBB. And no, "Advanced Quick Reply Hack" is not on these forums.

It's dropped. But please don't assume you know everything.

Calm, maybe chris got the basics out of a box, but this is one of the best forums I have ever been to. Chris also puts alot of hours and work into it, and it shows. He has put alot of extras into this fourm, and there are many people here who appreciate that. I don't really understand all this techincial stuff, but I do understand a nice warm friendly place and this place has it And that is not something you can get out of a box.

OK guys ... enough with the fighting!! We couldn't care less if it came in a box, a can or divine intervention, all we care about is having a good place to visit. Stop the techie wars and give us some good gossip!

One thing I never discussed, because I forgot.

The domain name is brilliant.

To have the name CanadianContent showed lots of pizazz.

selfactivated, the issue in terms of the Recent Topics of Discussion section has been resolved (by an Administrator). To the point of this thread, though, I agree with you entirely, Andem — the layout of this site is much better than those on many other forums, and the subtle changes from the "template"-like design of other forums is quite noticeable. I myself am a programmer (although only to a high school level), so I quite appreciate the work that goes into developing a place such as this.
