so i needed a messageboard script, i could have used one like this or Yabb, i don't know shit about mySQL, i could have got somebody to install it for me for maybe 30 dollars. But i decided to go look for another board and I see a FREE one that looks simple enough, doesn't need mySQL database, so i download it.

ok i've now spent minimally 20 hours on this fucker. even if you assume i'm a total idiot, which you wouldn't be too far off the mark if you did, and i'm worth no more than 7.50 an hour, i'm now at $150 for a messageboard that still sucks.

There's still time, brotha Mutt. Cut your losses and switch to Yabb!

Mutt,

Look at it as an educational process. The lesson learnt is worth more than $150.
Companies call it "research" and spend millions on it.

Next time you need to install a forum, it will be a no-brainer.
