[Solved] A couple of questions...

Hey there everyone.

I am thinking of using Zetaboards for my new forum, however I have a couple of questions that need answering before I make my final decision. I have never used Zetaboards before, however I first got into the whole forum scene with Invisionfree.

Is there any specific data/bandwidth limitations even if a forum was to gain a lot of traffic?
Are the team icons used by staff here on ZB limited to ZB staff only?
Is the ability to extract posts, topics, users, etc, from ZB to be used on another forum software such as IPB or vB available?

I may have more questions, however it's 1:25 am (watching UEFA Cup) and can't think of all of them at the moment.

Thanks guys! B-)

Not according to the website...

Not unless someone pitches a hissy-fit over some ridiculous copyright issue. Since ZB/IF is hosted in America, it is subject to American copyright law.

You could manually copy things (copy & paste the text) one post/topic/user at a time... Neither ZB nor IF currently allow you to download a copy of the database for backup.

Best thing to do is open a test board and try things out.

PS: suggest you do not copy anything from another board with out permission as someone will go nuts, no matter if its just a test or not.

I've already opened a test board when Zetaboards first launched.

Thanks guys for the reply, it is much appreciated. I'm guessing we can't have our own ads AS WELL AS the ZB ads on the forum right?

You can have your own ads up there but only after you paid for ad removal.

I'm not allowed to have my own ads up as well as the normal ones provided that gives Zetaboards their funding?

That's right

This is the relevant part of the TOS agreed to when you start your board

a.Content-targeted Advertising
b.Advertising that mimics or copies the look of AdSense advertising
c.Pop-ups for downloads or that interfere with navigation of the board
Any other type of advertising is allowed.
