how to create a forum just like this? - Off-topic

hi guys, I really love XDA, im on it all the time, But i wanted to make my own forum just like this, except its focused on just 1 phone, Is there any possible way to create a forum the same as this and excellent as this one?
If so, Can you give me a step-by-step walkthrough? Cheers (P.S, like i said, exactly (nearly) like this, so i can recruit mods,etc, mysql, php etc, anything, as long as its like this forum/website)
cheers,
wilbso

This should get you started: http://bit.ly/xYjjc5

well there are lots of free websites that allows you to create forums which you can manage as you like or create one on your own with phpbb, vb etc with your domain. If its a forum, you can assign mods, database or just anything else.

Well then you have to find oue, and make it do what you want. Most forums are based on phpBB or vBulletin. I think XDA is vBulletin.

Click THANKS if I helped

Simple. I've made a forum before.
Buy vBulletin or another forum software. Get yourself some hosting, according to the specs. Install the forum on the server using the manual. Then just start tweaking the settings and get it noticed.

OMG thanks dude, i have just created my forum, check here for my new forum about the xperia x8 and more
the main forum, which is focused on the xperia x8, is called xperiance,

Hello !
Well... Good ! But I guess you can do much better with a Forumotion's free forum !
It's the best free forum hoster, which offers a lot of possibilities. You need to try !

May be worth considering whether or not the forum you go with is supported by Tapatalk. There's a list of forums they support on their site...
http://www.tapatalk.com/

I beleive the recipe is 2 parts vBulletin, 2 parts contributing users and 8 parts trolls....
Mix well and leave to simmer for 9 years....
Good luck.

Of course it did. Forums needs users and by only focusing on ONE device, the forum becomes a ghost town when a new version gets released. Its not a sustainable model at all.

Addiction

Damn you XDA. I find myself here several times a day, looking for goodies and news about my favourite phone (LG Revolution) the best freakin phone ever. I have you on my phone now, with a paid app. I just can't get away from you. I may have to take up drinking to pull myself away.
I like this site, because everyone seems knowledgeable. Everyone is nice, when you have an issue, they walk you through it, rather than talk down to you.
Thanks to you all who run this sweet operation. I click "Thanks" every chance I get. Thank you moders, without you our products would just flat out suck. I like the fact, because of groups like ours here, phone makers are more open to letting us open up their devices, and take out what we hate, and put in what we love.
Keep it up.
Here here!
This place is an amazing tool, social community and has become THE NAME in mobile device dev.
I feel you. I just registered this morning and will probably buy the paid app too.
also... i am an xda-addict too..
this site is great... it's all the necesary to life
For all you fresh faced XDA junkies....
Have a look at this thread and see what the future has in store for you...
The best app on my phone is XDA lol whether I'm at work or on the tube or wherever I'll check out the forums on a regular basis, some great people on here especially all the helpful devs.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
i remember when i didnt have ord.... my girlfriends phone was stock, my phone was stock, i didnt do hardware modifications, ah the memories.
I concur entirely with every post in the thread. There are constantly two or three different XDA tabs open on my browser, so I can switch between and find even more awesome things to do with my phone.
I look forward to being full on ORD soon!

I do not think this is the first time someone is promoting a website. But this IS the first time someone is promoting MY website. It's not a mod that if there are similar threads i should rather go there. If there is a special thread for promotion of websites, be a good member and point me to one.

We'd be glad to but we are students and cannot presently buy new devices. Device specific support is present only in our forums. We concentrate more on Android and other tech stuff in general. Give our site a try, you should find it helpful.

That's not at all, we would share but there is a good reason for it (Read the post again!)
System dump can't just be shared with everyone. It's an unreleased device so a leak always means a risk for someone to be kicked out by Sony.

Remember, everything on xda is for free, so you can at least give a little respect to people who try to help you.
People like you are the reason why many devs discontinue their work. People always demand and don't think about other people spending their free time just to help.

Unfortunately, people that think like we do are becoming lost in the sea of self entitled noobs that have swamped these forums with the increased popularity of Android and modding.
They refuse to search or read before posting or show any respect to people that give their time for free to develop better software for their device.
Sad really.

Stop being ignorant & try to understand the risks involved in sharing the system dump. They are not sharing the dump even to the recognized developers:crying: Also if you keep on replying like a 7yr old, every one is gonna ignore your reply.
Chin up & change your thread title to closed or ask a mod via pm.

Free Website Design for XDA Members
As the title states, I am going to be making websites for XDA members, as long as any one of the points below apply:
a) Simple, no online payments/logins/etc
b) Really in a short budget and need someone to make their website
c) A non-profit/small business that needs someone to help with their site
d) Have some time on their hands(It will usually take 2 days for a site)
e) Want to get a free website design!​
Q. Why am I doing this?
A: I am a fairly new web developer who has about 4 websites under his belt(Examples Below) and would like to simply help people while gaining some experience. All my four clients are from four different countries, and 1 XDA member is also part of them.
Q.Why should I trust YOU?
A: Because there is nothing to lose from getting a website from me, and you are not forced to do so:good:
Q.Will you make me a 300 page megasite with huge requirements?
A: As much as I want to, I really do not have the time, nor the will to design something >60 pages.
Q. What do you use to make your site?Will you provide me with manual project files?
A: This is a very personal question for me, and I am not comfortable to answer this question. I will though, let you know that most of the project is done with notepad. That is all I can tell you. I can not provide you with the manual project files. Sorry.
Q. Have you ever worked with any XDA members' site?
A: Yes, I have. I have worked with user JONBOY345 and I am sure he has positive feedback from me.
Q. I have more questions.
A: PM Me.
Things that I need to build your site:
1. Your FTP Username
2. Your FTP Password​
Sites I had made:
Site 1
Site 2
Site 3​

Okay - I'll bite.
First off, I was careful in my wording. Html is used for making websites - not websites are made with html
Secondly, Python (if used for web development) is a server-side language, so you'd still need html to get a working site
Question still makes no sense though! :silly:

I can't speak for everyone, but if you are into it and actually want to learn it, it is more fun than "How hard is it?"
I am not studying web developing, but I did my research for a long time(>2 years).
There will be times you wish you never took it, especially when learning some CSS(GODDAMN APOSTROPHE KEY Y U NO BECOME AUTOMATIC SOMETIMES) but all in all, it is very worth it. You don't have to get a job to earn some small $$$, because you can tell people, advertise online, etc.

Hi, I like to keep this secret(My tools) but if you try hard you can easily tell what I used. I'll give you some hints, I use a combo of Adobe: PS, Fireworks, Dreamweaver and sometimes I get scripts and position them accordingly. I will be honest here, NONE of my sites are completely based off notepad, and upon consulting more of my web dev colleagues, I have learned that using notepad/notepad++ is too time consuming and actually decreases productivity.
However, at the end of the day, if the client is happy regardless of what I used to make it, I am also happy.

Yeah. I saw it. Did a forum search using the keywords official, support, CM, and Atrix HD. That post didn't show up. If it did wouldn't have posted. My point towards Echo is to not to assume and to be a bit more friendlier. This is after all a community to help others and to spread information. Bad will towards other would have not be tolerated in the forums I modded and administrated on. The mods can deleted this thread since it doesn't serve any purpose since the information was already posted. I hate useless posts. That's why I only post when I have something to say.

@Matt
The point of the search is so you don't have to scroll to find what you're looking for. Unfortunately it isn't perfect and will not always find what you are looking for.
We could probably discuss this all day, but what would be the point. It happened. Let's all just move on.
Mods - Please either lock or delete this thread.
