Adrian (a relatively silent and inactive member on fb) here...Seeing as you guys appear to be expanding, having some experience with hosting sites and boards, I have a few comments.
1. Free board hosting is no good. If you get popular, you're stuck with the shitty address. Also, many free forum hosts disable database exports, so even if you wanted to eventually find hosting or host yourself, you would have to start overe (in terms of content)
2. The name... don't know how protective tougefriends is about their name, but I'd change the name of this place to avoid uhhh "disputes" and "confusion"
Other than that, yay forums.

haha Hey Adrian. Thanks for the tips. We're most likely gonna start over anyway. the FB group's planing on becoming an official organization so we'll have to change the name anyway so sad... This is just to get a feel.... Hopefully SOAR will fund us? haha or we'll just impose a reg fee for teh club after we figure out how much a host will cost for a year. =P iono everythings in the air still

to put pictures up, you just need to upload the file to some sort of webspace (imageshack works fine) and press the IMG button somewhere in the post menu and put up the URL.
As for an avatar.... um I haven't checked, but it's probably under member profile.

I have a question...
What the hell is Karma rating?

You can exalt/smite other members however you feel, I gave myself karma because I can and wanted to feel special, but you can smite it away if you wish. It's kind of like the seller ratings on ebay, but completely pointless and for any reason you deem necessary-GO!

I ll foot the bill for the domain name and hosting. If not, and you want to have your own site, thats cool. Let me know if there is any way I can help.
