I want to create a forum hosting website but I need a good script that will allow my site members to register and ceate their own forums on the fly on my server. It will have to have an admin control pannel somewhat like a web hosting script does so that I can have total control over my member's forums & their stats & user info.

Also, I would like to know of some good open source forum scripts that I could use for something like this. I would like to provide forums that are simalar to the forums offered on these two websites:
www.proboards.com

www.suddenlaunch.com

Maybe you will know someone who can design a script like this for me and tie all the needed features together?

Thanks in advance for your help,
Jeff

Well, there is phpbb, but just make sure you get a patched version, as their is a hole in it. the site http://www.phpbbhost.org/ used to host multiple forums for people, but I guess they shut down.

There's the older CGI based YaBB http://www.yabbforum.com/

and there are lots of other forum softwares out there, just a matter of how much control do you want, and do you want to let them have. As well if you want to go with a textfile DB or a MySQL/Postgre/etc DB

Hmmm, i've got just the script your looking for.
Smiling
I had it made about two months ago and i own it.
If you wanted, then we could come to a price and i'd sell it to you, but would be keeping the re-sale rights myself.

What it does is give your members the choice of 4 message boards. You can remove some of these message boards if you want. It's in the admin part of the script. You can also run adverts on any of the message boards you like.
You have an admin panel and your members also get a small admin panel.
Your members will end up with the message board they choose and will have full admin rights on the board they choose.

Anyway i'm not on this forum that much. I just tend to pop up every now and again. So if your looking to make a deal and use my script. Just pop a long to one of the links in my sig and contact me. I'm the one called CASTIGER.
