Creating a Gaming Community. How? - djarff - Jun 29, 2014
Hello peeps.
Some friends of mine and I have an small gaming clan.
We would like to go further and make a website, where we could recruit
more members, have an forum with diffrent sections etc.
But non of us know how to D:
We know no coding what so ever either.
So how do we do?
Im thinking just a normal clan website, with like different pages like "members", "forum", "media" etc.
A website like similar to this one: http://www.noobdude.com/
(but without the messy sh*t)
^That website is just an example.
So yeah, how can we do it? Is there some easy tools to use?
We're going to pay a domain/hosting as soon as we know how to even make the damn site.

There is a company called Enjin which hosts forums for gaming communities for free
The free package limits certain things, but still allows you to do a lot!
Here's the link: http://www.enjin.com/
Hope it helps 🤝

Look here under Scripts go to Forums.
That is a list of forum software you can use, if you want to you can make a website and have a forum linked.
Simple enough, I could do the whole thing for you for a price, send me a PM.

You could setup a forum and manage it but then you have to worry about maintaining it. This means keeping up to date on plugins (if you install any) and making sure you don't have any sort of vulnerable hole. This can even happen from uploading a theme so you will need to be cautious of what you upload and use.
Another alternative is what was suggested above. There are sites where you can register your clan and then use there hosting and setup to manage your own clan. I would recommend that to you since you are a beginner and that would be the best for you.

enjin is cool but not fully customizable
I'd recommend: mybb vbulletin phpbb ip.board
all of them work good tbh my favorite is mybb
if you need help message me, if you are trying to build a big community then the hosting will cost more than 10 dollars a month..

I can do it all for you, upload MyBB, get plugins of your choice, get a theme or themes of your choice, and keep everything on the forum up to date. Message me on skype if interested: fuzedgaming
