I have found out that the German internet magazine Internet World (http://www.internetworld.de/) has had an article about Snitz Forums in their November 2002 issue.

Since I don't own this issue, I've contacted them if there's a way to get that article. About two days later I got it in my inbox as a Word file. That's nice, isn't it?

Anyway, Snitz is entitled "Top Script of the Month"!

It contains basic information such as requirements, installation and configuration instructions, all-in-all it's a "Getting Started with Snitz" tutorial.
As I said above, it's in German, and I haven't had the time yet to translate it (maybe other German-speaking members would like to? ).

Now, for your pleasure, here's the file: download

Enjoy!

Sounds interesting. I'd like to read it if it it's translated, but put yourself out too much!

Only the first couple paragraphs actually concern the rationale for selecting Snitz the "top-script" of the month: here's a rough translation:
quote:

A free, simple to install and flexible discussion forum based on ASP? With that, Snitz is a clear choice for the top-script of the month!

Your internet presence clearly rates a web-based discussion forum. Such a program (function) gives users of your web site the possibility to exchange ideas immediately. Your advantage: the users clearly become more strongly connected to your site, and sometimes even become an integral part of customer support in such a forum.

Often then, your customers’ questions are answered in the forum by your users. Since all questions and answers for each user are available online, questions (to your customer support) decrease. Often various visitors help each other and answer their questions, before a customer support person works with it.



It goes on to describe server support, etc.

quote:

Conditions.
The „top-script“ Snitz makes it possible for you to have such a discussion forum. The (thankfully) free GPL-License is available and works on an ASP-basis, supported by Windows Operating System or on other server platforms which pay for Sun’s Active Server Page (www.chilisoft.com) software. You need a web server which supports ASP, whether the Personal Web Server (PWS) or Microsoft’s Internet Information Server (IIS). These are contained in all Windows versions, with the exception of Windows ME (on which the PWS version from Windows 95 can be installed) and on Windows XP Home Edition.

etc., etc., etc.

Tada: http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.frutzle.com%2Fsnitz%2Fsnitz.htm&langpair=de%7Cen&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&prev=%2Flanguage_tools (copy and paste the URL)

I just saved the Word document as a "webpage" and uploaded it Most of it seems to be translated although I did see that Google has left some things in German...

Excellent! That is really good exposure for the Snitz! I wonder if the author of the piece has stopped by here?

The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails

lol - Google's translation is terrible, but you get the gist of the idea.

I tried using InterTran, but that was even worse... at least Google tries to do something with grammar and words that make (some kind of) sense
