Since i can't mail the moderators abou this, i will ask it this way. I'm pretty impressed by this message board, and i want to start my own on my site.

Can i use a message board like this one ? is it free ? were can i sign up ?

I'd like it when you don't have to pay for it, but when i do can someone give a suggestion about a free one ? Already tried bord.com, but there updating there software... :(
 
Why can't you mail the moderators <G>? We're people too...

If you want this specific board, you have to pay for it -- around 200 dollars plus 70 a year after two years for subscription service, IIRC. There are lots of crappy free boards, though... like BOARD POWER!
 
Just wondering Kris... who's paying for this?

The CIC staff does... just like they pay for the domain, webspace and bandwidth.

What exactly do you want a board for?

From their own pockets... wow! I guess we all have to thank Kris, Crid, Hades... for their generosity... :)

Did I miss anyone? ;)
 
You missed a few people...

The CIC staff's bosses at their various jobs pay them.

So let me get this straight... The CIC is run with no ads (yay!) by some dedicated WC fans, forking out dough out of their own pockets, and they even have enough leftover to support crius.net! I'm impressed, I always thought CIC had some official standing with Origin.
 
Used to be on OSI servers. It isn't anymore, though. Setting up Crius was actually cheaper than having the extra bandwidth of the CZ on their http://www.wcnews.com account, as I understand it.

Origin doesn't *have* servers anymore.

But we have a good working relationship with their PR people.

At least, if they still have PR people:)
 
Lets just say I won't be purchasing any gold-coated hot-dogs for quite a while...

... or, any regular hot-dogs.

Seriously, running a high-bandwith, non-profit advertisement-free website is much more expensive than you think. :)

Yeah, especially because of the "non-profit advertisement-free" part... ;)
 
That popup message is just to discourage the general idiots from mailing us with crap which in no way relates to the chatzone. Like "when is next wc game be coming??? all your wc is belong to us! lolololol!!"

Unfortunately it doesn't work because it seems the afore mentioned "general idiots" don't know how to read.
