Not sure if this is the right place to put this, if not please move it.
Here's a thought/suggestion for a MOD but I'm not sure how tough it would be to build. If I wanted to allow people to run their own forums and be admins(but not have access to the ASP code) I would want to limit the number of forums they could have/create at one time and the number of members they are allowed.
This would mainly be from a "How to make money with the forums" idea. So if someone wanted to run a "Basic Forum" maybe they could have 3 Catagories each with 4 forums and no more than 100 members. The next level would have some greater amount and so on.
The forum admins would have to pay for the upgraded service to have more Forums/memebers(Purely b/c of the amount of space/traffic the forums would be generating).
Would that be a tough MOD to build? Maybe something that could be set in the config file or something?
if you are planning on hosting forums, the amount of members, or number of forums would be the problem. what would make the database grown is the number of posts the user of the forums gets.
making it so you could only have a certain number of members would just be adding a code in the inc_top.asp file that counts the total number of members and if it is < the number allowed it would remove the Register buttons.
That's a good idea. I guess in order to limit the number of catagories and forums the admin interface would have to be modified to count the number of existing forums. There would probably have to be a limit on the number of posts as well each forum could take before they had to be archived or something.
