how to create a forum just like this?

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...

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.

Halo 4 Multiplayer

Is it just me or does anyone else feel that the multiplayer playlist choices are a bit of a let down. Yes I'm sure well see more with updates but I love my Big Team Battles and to constantly play Slayer is a bit boring. Bring back big team CTF & Assault and maybe a bit of Rocket Race for good measure.

It won't get lost, but it will get locked by one of the Mods.
Yes. This is Off-Topic, but XDA is a mobile phone site. OT is allowed and tolerated because it is well moderated, but ultimately there are far better places if you really want to discuss games. That is precisely why there is ONE thread for games discussion and all others get locked - otherwise OT would just be two hundred games threads and nothing else.

I'm new to these forums and since this thread has kind of become a META thread about the off-topic forum, then I'm going to say that I don't know if I like how the off-topic forum works.
I have only given off-topic an initial browse to see what it's like, but it looks like 75% of the posts are huge archive posts on a single topic. Then there are like 5 or 6 scattered threads of varying levels of interesting topics. Why not just let all the posts roam free?
Since I'm new here I'm only guessing, but I feel like the off-topic community is being unnecessarily divided into huge black holes of threads where nobody really gets to know anyone else. Am I wrong in the that guess? Or is there really a community of people who hang out in the off-topic forum and manage to keep tabs on one another within these huge threads?

Most of the regulars here know each other and know quite a bit about each other. There are some good people here and some muppets - if you hang around you will soon enough work out which groups people fall into (hint: I'm one of the muppets :silly.
The OT forum is really here for people to blow off a bit of steam and build a feeling of community, without needing to chat about phones and technology all the time - just like going down the pub after work with your colleagues and not talking about work. However some people seem to feel that they have an inherent right to just open a thread for anything they want - they social equivalent of meeting your colleagues down the pub and starting to chat about sex with animals - not what the rest of the group want to discuss.

That's cool that a group of regulars persists here. I was a regular of the off topic forum at xbox.com back in the day, so I know what off topic forums can be like. The forums back then didn't have these huge archive posts though, like this forum has. It was more like jungle rules, I guess you could say, so I was just worried that the jungle rules were what made that off topic forum special for me.
But if you say that the archive threads work, then that's cool. I just have to get used to them, I guess.

In that case, petition the people who matter to get a forum created just for games to be discussed - then you can have as many threads as you want.

It's either lecherous or pointless. Not sure which, but I'll close it either way.

Its funny what people are doing at the moment!!

1.making useless threads for example post your homescreen,development guide etc even when phone is not released in order to earn thanks!!
2.asking for specs confirmation....
Mine question to them:
How can one know specs at the moment when phone is still to be released!!
So people have some patience and wait for its release...everything will be clear!

I agree, so I'm just having fun with it all, having a harmless joke here and there
However, you don't need to have a "hit thanks if I helped" in your sig either
To be honest I wish they would remove the thanks button as I get sick of people asking to be thanked and worrying about some arbitrary thank meter

Best Rom/Kernel Threads

As we know, xda has recently allowed us to post best threads. Thats a difference from their policy before, which didnt allow best threads. Also, as we all know(well, most of us) that best roms and best kernels do not exist. Best would be whatever fills your personal needs and wants. As we all differ, our needs and wants also differ. Since all our needs and wants differ, its not possible to have a "best rom" or "best kernel". Whats best for you, could be the absolutely worst for me. So, even though xda now allows best threads, "best" doesnt actually exist. What they will turn into, if no arguments or fighting occurs, is just the same list of all roms and kernels that exist on xda. My question is whats the point to this? As in we reply in each thread with the truth, there are no best roms/kernels.

I agree with you sims. The best out come of a "best" thread is opinions. I also pm'd a mod with the same concern as you.

Simms,
Can you even prove to me that we all see color the same? Studies have pretty much proved we don't. For what it's worth I'm with Johnny Cash on this one. Black. Though technically that's the absence of color.

Black is the best color. And yes, it's a color.
Thank you!

I think these threads are a bad idea.
Besides, everyone knows Graviton is the best. :silly:

no way can i prove that we all see colors the same, i dont think we do. we might call the same colors the same names, but thats just because we were taught to. do we see them the same, probably no, but most probably see the color similarly.

Ok guys. You have made your points over and over here. As i said before. If you have nothing to add to these threads, don't post.
If you just let the threads be, they will fall off the front page and die a natural death. Instead, you're posting your same responses over every thread and pushing them to the top.
I am familair with all of you and I respect your opinions, but please respect me and just let it go for now.
Thanks,
