Question for the more tech-savvy of you

[salienne]

Anonymous online forum: how would I go about making one? What sites are best (preferably free but not-so-free is fine too), how much actual code-stuff would one need to know, would it be better to have my own server, etc.?

I ask because a club of mine at school is considering making a mental health-oriented forum, and I've been charged with finding out how.

Is it a forum you want to make (like a message board type thing?) or just a website? I have a couple places you can go for a free forum... Let me know.

Yup. Forum/message board.

Any help would be appreciated. :)

Ah, ok. Try this one: http://invisionfree.com/

As lame as it is, I've had/played RPGs on there. It's free (obv.) and relatively easy to use. You don't have to know any fancy coding, but if you'd like something on there that would be more advanced, you will. I happen to know most of the coding for the site, so feel free to ask me if you need anything!

If you end up using that site, I can help you with almost anything, actually. I can help you set it up, etc. if you'd like.

I know there are more out there much like this one, but I'd have to look it up on google.

I've made/ran a few forums. Invisionfree/Proboards is free, decent, and you don't need to know a lot of code.
