Why don't you write one up in DMCGI, I've done it. Well most of it.
|
I've been trying. All the DMCGI script "should" do is send back the users ckey, and then (somehow) get the php to manually create a forum, after the user submits that forum, add it back into the database?
I'm confused on how to do it. Any help Kajika? =) | |

As for the ask-parents-for-money, this has been discussed before. Most parents haven't had internet while they were young, so they'd look at their son/daughter very strangely if they asked them money for an "online membership thing". And would ask some more questions, then the kids need to explain what BYOND is and all that crap - and there's the black hole. An 12-13 year old kid wouldn't quite be able to explain it, if (s)he would, the explanation wouldn't be very ..clear, which will in most cases lead to an "no". O-matic | |
I am 12 i will be 13 in may, but thats not the point. I got membership with my own money I just asked my step-mom to put it in her bank account. My parents let me get any membership i want just as long as they dont have to pay. I pay for my byond membership and my runescape membership ($5 a month) out of my own wallet.

10 categories for members.
5 categories for non-members. CSS edits for members. And the ability to add more forum moderators for members. That would keep the whole thing clean and happy =P But you would have to keep it clean somehow, so like, have the forums collective, so they can't just make another hub entry and add another 10 categories etc. Like "Use this as my active forum" so there is the whole individual forums for hub entries, but you can have an active form as a collective forum for your games and so on. If that makes any sense. As for the membership deal. "Can't afford it" is, in my opinion, a load of crap. Money Orders and all that are easy. And money is not a hard thing to come by. Make a deal with parents for petty change in exchange for chores. And it's also been my experence, that the average age of BYOND users is 15 - 20. Almost everyone I know on BYOND (Which is alot of people) range from those age limits. Some even older. So the possibility of getting a job is there aswell. The only people at a disadvantage are those in countries other then america. Because BYOND doesn't accept other currencies, I believe. And besides, not being able to afford it doesn't really mean anything. Look at the benafactors list. All you have to do is impress people who donate alot. <.< | |

But, though, in most cases it isn't easy as in your case. O-matic | |

10 categories for members. Ditto, but I think 5 is a lot, people might start using them as personal forums, which is not really the point. I still say 4 or 5 for members, 1 for non.

All you have to do is impress people who donate alot. <.< I don't know about you, but I have donated a membership, and all I asked was that he (the person I donated it to) passed the favor forward if he got the chance. Along with that I donated my leftover dimes to BYOND. Although the money was already in their hands, I prefer them to be able to call it theirs without any moral recourse. | |
I've donated about 13 - 15 memberships now.
I'm fifth on the benafactors list =P And all a person has to do is catch me at a time when I have money and make a good impression on me. | |
Are you sure thats it? Because, I have donated about 15 on my N1ghtW1ng key and you are still beating me. We should have a way to see how many we have donated >.>

But do you work for a living? Or do you get an allowance? | |
You don't even nescesarily have to impress someone. I got mine simply by saying, "I don't have a membership...(some more stuff here, but I don't remember", and I got a membership. This is back when I acted like (more of) an idiot. Luck, not just talent, is helpful in getting a membership donated.

I entered a competition and drawed with another person. Lucky for me, the other person got one the day before.
