When I was randomly checking the ranking of Gex Forums on Google I stumbled upon a forum using a software that I have never heard of until today called Web Wiz. It can only be installed on Windows servers, so that's probably why I never heard of it before. The company that created the software offers forum hosting if you're wanting to give it a go and don't want to set things up. However, they also offer Windows hosting if you wish to maintain the site yourself. I might give it a go just to try out something new, as I like to try out different software to see how they work. Has anyone here ever used this software before? Here's a link to their website if you wish to learn more:

I may give it a try. I like playing around as well. The 1.17 a month isn't really that much. It is pay as you use. The forum hosting starts at 5.11 a month.

EDIT: I have a Windows based server sitting beside me. I wonder if I can get the forum running on that and play around with it. Maybe I will try that if I have time.

@Ravenfreak did you ever get a chance to mess around with this?
This is an old reply that I forgot to make lol. I did mess with it for a little bit, but didn't do much with the forum and I cancelled the hosting. I decided to pay for the forum hosting rather than Windows hosting and the main dev of the software set up everything for me.
 
I remember Web Wiz. The old GameShark boards moved over to them after they lost their license with IGNBoards, then they moved to Invision before ultimately shutting their doors.

I had no clue the Gameshark forums were powered by Web Wiz! Sucks they ultimately shut the forum down.
 
I never got to install it on the server I have. Now I am using it for something else.

If I could come up with a good domain and so on, I would consider buying the 6.66 a month hosting for a project. I do own discordforums.com and discordforums.net. I could do one of them.

If you do end up using Web Wiz, feel free to share the link with us! A discord forum sounds interesting too btw.
