RE: Simplest forum
If you leave your door open and mine is locked, who's house is going to get broken into first? Anyway, Galleon is nicely configurable. Why not just download it and have a play? -Original Message- From: Don L [mailto:do...@yahoo.com] Sent: 06 February 2009 02:22 To: cf-talk Subject: Re: Simplest forum Don Bad ppl *will* find it if it is on the internets. It is like hard drive failure. It is not a matter of if, it is a matter of when. G! On Thu, Feb 5, 2009 at 7:06 PM, D Gerald, I see your point. In a way, it's like a house, even with a lock on when its owner is out, a determined burglor can still break in, and because of that, should we leave the door open? Probably we can do that if it's a homeless shelter. Well, let's say, this is a hotel, open to all but some degree of security is necessary but probably not too much...

Your demographic is much more familiar with a subscribe and email verification procedure then a business demographic. Now, a question is, probably not for this forum, but you guys who know Galleons well would be in the know, is there a way to disable the registration feature to make an open forum? Hook it into OpenID or some Facebook API, it is what your demographic uses anyway.

Simplest forum
This question has probabaly been raised hundreds of times and yet I feel necessary to do so again. First, Rrequirements, simply three: a) interactive discussion like this forum; b) without authentification (username and password) but a degree of security, on the latter part, how about generating three random number and ask the poster to paste it in clear view (not the crappy difficult to read obsfucation) prior to posting? For a heavy-duty site, probably strict security would be good idea but ... c) cf-driven Secondly, oh How, cook it up myself, should be fairly easy but time consideration, ~ 5 hours? your guess? Would HoF be willing to share its code for free or cheap? Other source? Thanks.

Don, Galleon has a feature, where you can set just everyone to post. Seriously, just download the zip, and open the readme file for the installation. It's five pages long and explains all the security and management that you need. Rob On Thu, Feb 5, 2009 at 7:06 PM, Don L do...@yahoo.com wrote: +10 Galleon forums. Set up in less than 5 minutes.
