Title: How did you guys make the forum?
Post by: EntryLevelGamer on April 06, 2013, 06:20:11 PM

I can see it is PHP but did you use some kind of template or did you code it all from scratch? I am hoping to make a forum and this forum is kind of an inspiration for it!

Thanks!

It is a SMF forum with a theme from Dziner Studios and custom coded modules and plugins along with some of the more popular and useful mods for SMF.

Could you give any advice on that or did you make it yourself? (Yourself being whoever made the forums) Any tutorials that you used or anything like that would be great and much appreciated!
Also what host do you use?

Add me on Steam: JMProHelp if you can help me :)

I think they have just bought the forums and themes and stuff and installed it, not too complicated, some of the stuff they probably coded themselves. But you can get themes from the SMF site and stuff easily yourself.

I'll help you out for a bit. It's quite easy to do. You just upload everything it tells you to upload and then go to <website>.com/forums/install.php (usually)

smf is free

template costs i think, though dziner has free ones
