harvey did you code this forum or did you get the source from somewhere just wondering cause i have never really run across another message board like this one.
Yeah the forum was coded 100% from scratch. I wrote it four years ago, and it has gone through a bunch of changes, but the core is still the exact same.
thats true freezy, PHP is simple once you get sued to the syntax and everything although it is 10000000 times more powerful than HTML will ever be.
i recommend PHP as a language for budding webd evelopers. huge resource out there and loads of help forums and plenty of other PHPers who will be more than willing to help you out as a begginer.

PHP is a lot harder than HTML, although as far as a programming language goes, it's pretty straight forward. HTML isn't actually a programming language, it's a markup langue; it's used to format text.
As far as security in the forum... that's my little secret.
And yes, I do sell the code, but not just like 'here is the code, it costs this much'. I do custom work for people and implement different parts of this site on theirs.
