Welcome to Gaia! ::

That sounds ace! And if I could have the current EEW crew go over there as mods it'd be awesome for having a smooth transition with members we can all trust to be fair and not go power-mad!

An example would be sweet Chrono! Maybe we can find a comparison off all the different free forums to see if Zeta is definitly number one too! With some research can we find the best place without having to constantly move boards! cool

Phenom=I wouldn't be too keen on any forum that limits what members can do myself, full stop! smile

No, you could if you wanted to but again that's up to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does ZetaBoards allow me to edit my board's logo, images, and style?
Yes, you can change the logo and replace it with your own. In addition, you can change the colors and images on your board.
Can I install modifications to my board?
We offer hundreds of Javascript codes that can be added to your board easily. These codes can add features such as a shoutbox, a contest board, or a shop. You cannot install mods that are intended for the full version of Invision Power Board (PHP mods); however, you can however request a feature to be added to all boards.
Can my board be backed up?
We perform frequent backups that are free and automatic. Although the backups themselves are not available to download, restorations are fast and usually free… just open a support ticket.
What types of ads are displayed on my board?
No pop-ups or pop-unders are displayed. The banner ad can be removed for a small fee. We do not sell your email address or the email addresses of those that register on your forum.
What type of support is available?
We give free full support that rivals support for paid services. You can receive support through our public support forum or by a private ticket system located in the Admin Control Panel of your board.
What limits exist on the free service?
We provide 16MB of space for uploaded files. You can purchase more space if you need it. You must agree to our Terms of Service. We do not limit the bandwidth (data transfer) of your forum. In addition we do not impose a limit on the number of posts, topics, or members your free forum has. You will never be punished for having a popular forum!
Do you provide FTP access?
We do not provide FTP access at this time. With our system, it's not even needed… images and attachments can be uploaded from your browser.
How is the service free?
ZetaBoards is supported by the banner ads at the top of each forum.
What will my URL look like?
The URL of you board will look similar to http://s1.zetaboards.com/yourboard/. With our Domain Manager, you can use your own .com or similar domain with your forum for free!

Easy? We define easy.
We think we've made ZetaBoards incredibly easy to use… we want you to have fun with it, not spend hours learning how to use it!

Easy to register.
Registration takes only moments and your board is ready instantly. You only need to select a username, board name, and password and provide a valid email address. You do not need to give your phone number, address, or real name. There are no validation emails to worry about.
Easy to set up.
Your board can be configured and ready for visitors in less than 10 minutes.
Help is always nearby.
Post on the support forum or open a support ticket if you ever need help.
Plenty of guides and tutorials.
ZetaBoards has detailed guides to help administer, moderate, setup, and use your forum. All administration features are well documented, with context-sensitive help. And the ZetaBoards Documentation Project promises to bring a new meaning to "easy".

Be the biggest on the block.

ZetaBoards' servers are more powerful than any you can find for normal shared webhosting. Your visitors will never be kept waiting as an underpowered server labors to keep up with the popularity of your forum.

ZetaBoards' features rival those available with paid forum software on paid hosts. You don't need to sacrifice features to save money and time. In fact, many free and paid hosts prohibit resource intensive scripts such as forums.

And that's not all. Take a look at our features in development to see where we're taking you:

* Restore default CSS, images, or wrapper
* Multiple Skins
* Sorted emoticons (smilies)
* Upload custom image
* Custom avatar gallery folders
* Upload avatars to gallery
* Board offline for x days/hours

No stress. Worry-free.

Save Money
Avoid paying for hosting for your forum. ZetaBoards can save you hundreds of dollars a year.
Save Time
ZetaBoards keeps the servers operating and monitors the servers. The forum software is kept up-to-date and all security patches are handled by ZetaBoards while you save yourself hours of work every month.
Don't get stressed over growth
You will never have to worry about out growing yourself. ZetaBoards does not limit the size of your board and does not require that you pay fees for a large board. ZetaBoards will provide you with free service whether you have 20 posts or 20 million posts. You never have to worry about moving as your grow. Your board won't grow slower, nor will we tell you to go buy your own server. We're with you for the long haul.

yup, locked, hidden or password protected. Your choice
You can add a chat too it too.

It's a little difficult to do, but it is possible
and no there is no limit

Yeah, there's no problem.
I can make a class called "Burn", make their name in red and have certain members in that class
then Drown (blue), and then have it set so that Burn members cannot see drown forms, vice versa. It's a bit of a pain, but it is do-able. Probably do something for Free agents too.

I currently have my name under the staff section which is green, cause I like green, and that way I can help anyone with the site, since I'm quite familiar with it.
