After seeing a few tech questions within comments section of posts here at TechZilo, I have had an interest in setting up a forum. After tweaking a theme and setting up plugins to a level of satisfaction, I am officially launching the TechZilo forum.
You can now get free and fast technology support at TechZilo forum. You have to register to start posting, but it takes only a minute.
Competitions
I will also be holding competitions to give away paid licenses of of some software, web applications and Twitter customization services. To participate, all you have to do is register at our forum and be an active member. More details on the competition coming next week – stay tuned.
Forum software
After much deliberation over the software to use (the toss-up was between phpBB, SMF, bbPress and punBB), I have decided to use bbPress. Features like Akismet and bozo (marking a spammer as bozo denies the ability to post), the templating system that is similar to WordPress (which I have good experience with) and SEO-friendly URLs made me go with bbPress.
