I've been having a play with ikonboard as a way of hosting a forum, but it 
looks like my current hosting provider (fasthosts.co.uk) isn't going to 
play ball w.r.t setting up Perl correctly. But I've been planning on 
moving from them anyway; service has been crap and my customers 
complaining. Currently looking at another outfit that'll give me a 
dedicated server (running RH7.2) for about the same price as my current 
virtual hosting reseller package. Probably end up a lot more work to 
administer, but at least I'd have a bit more control, and can install 
whatever the hell I like on it.

I could do it all locally through one of the DSL links, but they are 
usually full to bursting downloading usenet! lol.


Anyway, it certainly sounds like there are enough people on here willing to 
devote resources to a site to act as a central point of reference.. Anybody 
any good at web design?

t1v0.com anybody?
