Coding my own forum - ndee - 04-26-2010
Hey guys;
I was thinking of coding my own forum. It wouldn't be too much. I would use PHP and MySQL, and then add some neat css.
It will take time, time that I don't have. However, I have a couple of free hours a day and if I decide to start coding the forum, then I will be working during my free time.
Should I start working? Or spend my time doing something else?

MyBB already exists, why bother?

Just use vBulletin, MyBB, PHPBB ETC.
Much less work

Imo, it's a waste of time. I would suggest spending your time doing something else

If you want the experience then yes.

Not only does that give me a big boost in PHP/MySQL/AJAX, but the forum software could be sold later on. Plus, it's way more professional to code a forum than to use an existing one.

Well, you seem to want to, so why not?

Like I said, not a lot of free time.
Coding a forum will take approx. 6 to 7 months of work, since I'll be working alone.

You could always do it a little at a time.

MyBB exists strictly so you don't have to waste your time, sir.
