Heather Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 I'm considering updating the board to the newest version, which would allow more features and reduce risk from attack. At the same time, I would consider putting in an intergraded chat and blog system (online journal.) But if you don't think it will be used or help "wake up" the site, then I don't see the point. A board license is $70, the chat would be $70/year and the blog is $50. The site is only making enough to cover hosting and domain right now, so I would be buying this out of pocket. That’s why I would like some input before I proceed. Thanks! Heather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maureen Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Hey Heather, Not sure what you mean by a blog system, could you define. I'm not a "chat" person, I prefer the message board style. M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather Posted July 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 blog is an online journal where it's basically you're own forum. You make the main entries, and people are free to browse and comment. Both the chat and blog would be integrated into the forum, so all three would be available.

Jenda Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Heather, is there not a way, within the workings of the board as it is, to set it up for blogging? I am the administrator on a board that was dumped on me (that I would be willing to dump on someone else if they want a board of their own (it is virtually dead right now as I am not doing anything with it)), and the settings can be changed from forum to forum so that personal journals can be created within it. I realize that BB's have different features, but that is a free board and we still have that feature, so I was just wondering if this board could be set up the same way.

Franken Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 when you say blogging, do you mean blogging like such things as Xanga, myspace, livejournal, etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather Posted July 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Yes just like that Franken. Jenda, I don't think it's possible with this board, because the blog is an add on right from invision. I could look around and see if it's free from another developer. The problem is finding a free board system that is secure and would allow the conversion from the system we have in place now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
