Hi Guys ...
this thread now has 130+ views with 15 of them being from subscribers .... based on that and the 27ish actual subscribers.... my guess is we have around 200 regular active members here
If Robert could confirm those figures or tell me i'm completely wrong it would be appreciated...
I have been looking at cost effective alternatives to the forum as suggestions to Robert to keep forum costs to a minimum and within the current annual $3000 budget
there is a wiki with forum comparisons which looks interesting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compar...forum_software
Although my background is not IT, my work is Factory Automation systems involving robotics and mass networks ... so im not a technical dumb ass by any means
Looking at the comparisons the http://fudforum.org/forum/
seems to have really good features with a great support forum and is open source, and is "free" ... they also have conversion software to convert existing forums over to Fud forum format
Robert what are you views on this and would it be difficult to convert over from Vb ?
all the best
Karl
