Question: Question about forum

[JTF2General]

Hey there, I was thinking about creating my own forum and I really liked the setup of pokecommunity's. How did they create this forum? What did they use?

PokéCommunity runs vBulletin 3.8.6.

1. Get a domain name.
2. Get a host.
3. Get vBulletin.
4. Install vBulletin in the ftp directory.
5. Create database.
6a. Run installation.
6b. Input database information into vBulletin installation.
7. Profits!

That's how you, more or less, get vBulletin for yourself.

AHAHH, ^^^ way to go for being specific. It's not as easy as it sounds if you don't already know how to do it. The process can get complicated if your not good with files, documents, etc. like these. (You can always have it professionally installed for yourself, though it'll cost you some money) You can PM me if you want to, and I'll tell you exactly what you would have to do, and take you step by step through the whole process of it. But yes, Patchisou Yutohru's post is a less simplified way of what you would generally do.

Be careful of people like this. It may seem like they mean well, but all it takes is one fight and they can make things a mess. Be sure you trust the one doing it. (Either a professional or a close friend can usually do it without much risk)
