    Didn't we already cover this or did I miss something? Because the site that I mentioned (www.lawnsite.com) uses XenForo for a forum community. I am guessing that is what you mean by a full fledged social network? It says it specifically uses Vertical Scope so not sure what all this means and I...

    This community has been ridiculously helpful on my very first post. Thanks for all the awesome replies. Not that we are done here yet or anything lol.

    Yeah so what does this mean? Because 50GB isn't a lot at all. If people are posting pictures (I anticipate a whole lot) I am going to hit 50GB in what a single day? So you get 50GB before it starts erasing old content or something? I do not expect all 10,000 users to come over all at once, but...

    Actually I might have, I played around with it very little before work one day. I should have had more time to sit down with it though. I was turned off because I really could not figure anything out but that was more lack of time than anything.

    I am also looking at the look for what you originally posted. It looks like mostly website themes correct? So when people first visit, my site is not a dull white webpage with a crap load of text asking for more text?

    Thanks for confirming for me.

    Yes, yes is there a place here maybe someone recalls where I could read about the various advantages a XenForo site would hold over a Facebook group? This is obviously a boast I already thought about to get people to navigate. I think I already mentioned it but my biggest obstacle is bringing...

    To be honest, I do not know how many I will get. However, the Facebook group has close to 10,000 now and I know there are others that refuse to use it and stick to websites where they can post their topic. It is 100% a growing community as well. So to start off I would buy my domain name from...

    I am fairly confident that if I make a good first impression with the website it will thrive. Like I was mentioning in my previous post that you probably did not see yet. We are a large growing number of people (equipment owners without saying much more) that have no real home so to say.

    So I do not know if anyone on here knows anything about ads but I think a conservative estimate that I would like to have as far as users go is about 10,000. This is a very niche thing and we are spread across websites, Facebook pages, etc. So it is hard to guesstimate how many I am going to...

    Okay so this was a big concern for me. Because my major concern is if I get the website where I want it with a free software and then transition it to XenForo will it need heavy modification that I could have avoided if I would have just started with XenForo in the first place?

    Starting a New Forum Website

    Yeah and I am guessing this is something I could transition to in the future if I wanted and maybe even find someone or a service to offer redundancy if my web server went offline. So we live out in the 'boonies" as people like to say and we did have regular power outages and isp problems but it...

    Hey I have seen you around. I honestly did start reading other forums around here before starting my own account and thread. https://xenforo.com/community/threads/presale-question-fora-platform-including-xenforo.197555/ Thanks for the response. So you are saying that if I had my own webserver...

    Yes, I know a little bit about this lol. This is a question I should know but is it possible to find a tool kit or something compatible with a home webserver to protect against such attacks? So when I start a webserver can you just use a specific flavor of Linux as a webserver?

    Thank you for the detailed reply. It is obvious that I need to begin doing more research.
