Does anyone know if the bravenet forum tool has a way to require people to register to post? Pro level or free, if it doesn't would anyone be interested in helping me set up a forum?
Phpbb style forums are probably the best bet for what you want
Bravenet is not
So look out there at those type of forums and read on them etc to know what they are going to cost you and more
There is just a lot more to them like having moderators, administrators, and much more that have to keep track of. A lot of spybots like to register at these forums as well
And they get into your forums and post as well so do have to watch that as well
