Well, as the subject says ... where?

Just reply to where you heard about it and everything. ;D


- Justin

I can't remember if it was scriptsearch.com or hotscript.com but when I was browsing these two website for a good BBS, I chanced upon E-Blah!

I looked at Yabb, phpboard, ikonboard and some other equivalent BBS and finally decides that E-Blah is the best!

got it from a script index.  I was looking for a cgi/perl board.  This was almost a year ago now.  wow time goes fast.

I just visited 3dhangout once.com and once and found out about it :)

-Darklord

I think I found it on Hotscripts. ;D

I think I stumbled upon eBlah whilst hunting around for a replacement forum for my Ikonboard forums. Could've been one of the script sites.
Having tried out the other mainstream forums, I too decided upon eBlah for my needs.
Nice one Justin!  ;D

:D I found mine at hotscripts

I found it on CGI-resource and on Hot Scripts.

A friend told me about it.

I found it at CGI Resource :-)

EliteStudioz, wasn't looking for a board then, but when I decided to get one, I had really liked EB so I decided to use it :) I had previously had a forum with phpbb2 and didn't liek ti that much.

Yeah, I just recently tried it myself ... with a site that moved to E-Blah from it.  Dude, phpBB has little to NO features compared to E-Blah!

I heard about it from our Freelancer Forum Administrator for FIIK T1. Its an impressive product! and for the most part easy to use. Justin you are a terrific programmer and Slammer and Fiik T1 Salute you! Keep up the good work and we will try to get that information set up for you as soon as possible. :) You know what I am talking about!

Arwen

Lookin' forward to it.  :)  No rush though.  :P

From the Schenectadyny.info website.  Wow love their eblah forum.  Lots of features etc.

Gonna put one up on my website when I can find the time.

Keep up the great work folks this forum format rocks big time.

Can only repeat others, but found it at http://cgi.resourceindex.com.
Searching for board.

hotscripts.com for me

I was bored, so i did a google search for "blah" and got this.  I never heard of this place before now. 

I was looking for a better Bulletin board than was available from my webhost. Did a google search for Bulletin Boards. Here I am.

cgi.resourceindex.com

I found it on cgi-resources.com - it had excellent reviews. I tried a few of the boards that were available and E-Blah is by far the best in terms of functionaility, easy to install and excellent support! Well done Justin :)

Searching for board.

Ditto :YouRock:

just like Arwen, from Fiik T1 at http://homezonecomputers.com/freelancer

GOOGLE!

I had tried several boards before, with very poor results. Don't want to knock them here, but they were supposedly highly touted.  ??)  I did a search on Google, and E-Blah came up first. When I went to the eblah website and saw the program in operation, I thought I would try it, also with the thought that the installation might be beyond my capabilities. Documentation for the installation was excellent, and after one question, I was in operation. Couldn't be happier.

It's great!

I found eblah in a different lifetime (windows) and can't quite remember which site it was, but it was for perl CGI scripts.  My jaw dropped outa my skull and didn't bother looking at anything else.  :)

Since then been to a few other boards but don't care for many of them.

If I could draw worth a -bleep- I'd do up an eblah rocks! smiley.

I installed Linux on another computer I have ... haven't gotton it all configged like I wish I could though.  :'(

found about it here...
http://www.ebroadcast.com.au/cgi-bin/blah/Blah.pl?
and also at  http://www.theblacksea.co.uk and http://www.superiching.com

I found eblah here:

http://cgi.resourceindex.com/

Found it at CGI Resources also. Best board I have seen and used.

found it on cgi resourses

Found it on a site listing a bunch of perl-based stuff.  Cant wait to get it up on my site

http://cgi.resourceindex.com/Programs_and_Scripts/Perl/
I got it here

I found out eBlah about 2 years ago through YaBB... I joined, but lost my Login Details  :'(.

But well I am back now.

Through YaBB .. LOL ... E-Blah's competition, lol.

I am interested in helping out with your monthly releases. Justin any chance?

Money donations would help ...

I think that Linspired was thinking more along the lines of programing:)

I know.  :P

me thinks you should open welcome help with open arms...but then again, I am a trusting man who welcomes help from others...of course I haven't been burned yet ;D

I work alone.  :-/  That's all.  heh

Ohhhhhh, ok then you can write the re-write the install docs alone :P  Just kidding...I get what you mean ;D

Yeah, sorry I'm snappy.  I'm having some issues ... lets leave it at that.  :(

Wasn't upset...just poking fun...sorry :)

Here is were I found the Eblah site.
http://cgi.resourceindex.com/

I got it from here: http://www.foruminsider.com/index.php?act=directory&show=all

http://cgi.resourceindex.com

I tried YaBB, ikonBoard, and cutecast first. I wish I' hadn't bothered! eblah is MUCH better and easier to work with! :K)

Heck, it's even easier to kitbash!

I found it in a roundabout way. A search for "free forum software" led me to http://www.thinkofit.com/webconf/forumsoft.htm#freeware

I tried Yabb and Teemz. I was not happy with these and I was restricted to Perl based cgi boards. I decided to troll the forums and discovered the best way to check out which board software was being used was to check to see what software powered the various boards. I liked the look of one and followed the link to eBlah :)

Sorry, can't remember which forum!

from hotscripts! http://www.hotscripts.com

and i love E-Blah, blah blah!!! i'm gonna make a new forum...

i did a google search... and looked for about an hour....

My host offers E-Blah as part of it's free packages, even install it for you. Must get onto them though, it's ver 5 that they install.

Code http://www.heartinternet.co.uk

Unsure, but I was searching through google found it. I honestly have to say this is the easiest to install then forums like YaBB and stuff. YaBB took me about 6 hours to figure out some of the stuff. E-Blah took me about 1 hour. And I'm a n00b.  :D E-Blah has alot more features from the way I see it.  :P

Half past the burning bush and over the penut butter  :P

I am a member of Pirchworld.com and they used to have a bord, can't remember the scripts name.  ::)

I was off the net for a while. Anyway, recently when I went back, I saw the owner uses E-Blah now. So I came to this site and downloaded myself, and I am very happy with it.

Still learning though.  :D

founded at cgi-resource and luv the naming ;)

A mustang going 0-60 in 3 seconds?  That's a little hard to believe :-/

Hey Justin I beleive you told me about it, probably while asking to be hosted.

I told you about it, but you had asked me if I wanted to be hosted.  :P

Automatically installed by hosting company (Heart Internet) but only installed Platinum 5 so had a bit of trouble updating!  is all going great now though ;D

Hot Scripts

I've played with a lot of forum software, and this one is sure hard to beat.... :)

Found it here.........

http://www.thinkofit.com/webconf/forumsoft.htm#slash

The Admin Zone!

I found eblah (and others) from the cgi resource site.

I tried the others and had probs. Posted a request for help and got flamed!

Same thing happened with E-Blah, EXCEPT the reply was kind, gentle and the support team got me working in toodle-doodle time!

E-Blah? I'm lurvin' it!

Regards

mel

We value our tech support here at E-Blah.  :)

Hmm I think I'm liking xetronella :p I can picture his accent in my mind. :)

Eblah P5 was included in the list of software included in my hosting account with heart internet - tried it, loved it, upograded, havent looked back since :)

Found ya on a CGI index page after Goooooglllling "Free Bullitian Board Software".

You were at the top of the list with only one dirogatory (sp?) comment.

Ding

Yeah,  amouse was the one and only user that was not happy.  Justin, you should contact CGI Resource and ask them to remove that comment.  If I could find the post I would reference it.  Man was that guy a pain it the behind:)

They probably wouldn't remove it.  I've contacted them before about unfair ratings from competition and they promptly removed them though.   8)

The CGI Resource Index

I know this is an old thread , but, really can't remeber where i found eblah. have used it for a couple of years. tried yabb on one site i have and never really like it. found eblah with the built in calendar and have never looked back. have been very pleased with the help i have recieved when problems arise. and the problems have never been from eblah.

Good ol' Wikipedia.

Quoted from Azerty

Good ol' Wikipedia.

Eh?  Do you use E-Blah?

I searched Google for some forum software, I checked out EBlah and the forums here, and thought "That looks really good". So I installed that. Now with the support you get here with any niggles you have I wouldn't bother at all with anything else. Simply fantastic.

i found scriptlead.com.its great script.
http://www.scriptlead.com/detail/3313/E-Blah-bulletin-board-system.html

I found it on the yabb main forums. I love it. Thanks for your work!

Haha, that's great.   8)

wikipedia's forum list.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Internet_forum_software

Ah, that's nice.  :)  Someone should write the article for E-Blah .... :P.

I wanted a forum and Martin with whom I work with setup Eblah for me and have never looked back!

I think Martin wishes I hadn't gone with Eblah due to all the help I have wanted but the forum does look great!


http://www.cruisekent.co.uk

That is a pretty nice looking forum.  :)

Very nice forum indeed!

I saw it on hotscripts

I only discovered the eblah forum script from my website host.  Heart Internet - it comes free with their hosting package and they make it auto installable, although it is an old version.  I must contact them and ask them to update it because your new one is very much more intuitive from the admin side of things.

Nice work eblah.  I'm going to be recommending you wherever possible.

Good old Heartinternet, I have 4 sites with them and support a few hosted there also.

The only problem is that they install with a different file structure than the norm. I normally put things back to the way they should be when I help someone out hosted by them.

Found it on hotscripts a couple of years ago after trying yabb and v bulletin neither of which impressed me or stayed working for long.  

Glad I did find EBlah, it's a great piece of software and well supported as over 2,000 members and 2 year in service with only one crash because the webmistress had a brain cramp   :o nothing to do with the software but we don't talk about that can attest to.

Keep up the great work guys!

I wish there was an "I Don't Remember" option...

hmmm......  ??) ??) ??)


I think I originally started out with YaBB... then something happened... then something else happened... then I installed E-Blah.

I have a question for Justin: Why did you program E-Blah?

A.) Bordom.
B.) Wanted to see if I could.
C.) Later on, because I didn't care for the way YaBB was going with things.

That's really the only thing.  And pretty much in that order.  There's diffrent reasons why I code now.  Mostly to releive stress. :P

Cool! Great reasons to write something.

I saw your software on another site that a motorcycle organization uses that I am a member of. I had my own forum and  was using another board software (maybe should mentions the name Prob*a*d*) for my forum but was to controlling, too many advertisements, etc, down too much with "Too many connections", wanted to host my own board on my server.

Eblah was rated one of hte highest I could find in research.

I always go for tte best, never settle for second rate..

I think we're one of the few perl forums that are actually still being heavily worked on with releases all the time.  :P  At least with several releases a year.

There really should be an option on the poll: I don't remember.

Seriously, I found out about E-Blah three years ago, and I haven't the slightest clue how! I was using YaBB, and somehow I switched to E-Blah. It must have been a boring day, because usually if a PERL script requires too much work to make it mork, I just abandon it; but not E-Blah. With the new admin panel and other cool stuff, I actually find administrating E-Blah, dare I say it, fun. (Wow, I am a geek.)

I just remembered! CGI.ResourceIndex.com

I HAVE FOUD THIS SOFTWATE  WITH MY HOSTING PACKAGE OF http://WWW.HEARTINTERNET.CO.UK :D

wikipedia.org

3 or 4 years ago I belonged to a group where they wanted me to be the forum admin - turned out to be an Eblah forum so I downloaded the pkg for myself & set it up on my own website so I could familiaraize myself with the board I was supposed to admin! I got right into it & even made some different templates.

My new provider. your-webhost.nl
I'm very happy with this provider, and with eblah

I kind of stepped into it.  The person who used to administer the site for my organization just left for another job, and he left me a page of instructions and waved as he left.  I have never admin'd a forum before so I may be posting alot of questions for a while...be patient with me.  Thanks.

I had an old set of forums (phpBB...  less than exciting) and when they went down, I wanted to replace them with something better.  I did a ton of research and in the end I found that E-Blah had all the features I was looking for, and more!  I've been very happy with the forums since then.  My users see new features on occasion, and they see the improvements as well.  I wish I could have found E-Blah years ago...

The sites I used for research were: wikipedia and forummatrix.org.

Some of the things that lead me to E-Blah were the fact that the writers were still active in the software, the built in calendar, and the unlimited nesting of categories.

I got it from my web host, Heart Internet. I wasn't really looking for a board, but I just loved it, and here I am.

Google search for 'Internet Forum Software'
which then lead me to Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Internet_forum_software
From wikipedia to http://www.forummatrix.org/
From ForumMatrix.org straight to the download page :p

I was looking for what i could add to my site at http://cgi.resourceindex.com/Programs_and_Scripts/Perl/ and i found it and was not to be dissapointed

I found eblah on my old hosting package with heartinternet, they offer an old eblah now. But I've since moved on to bigger and better hosting, and three hosts later I've taken eblah with me. I've been pondering about switching to smf because of the better themes, and a few extra features i like, but after testing smf, its just not eblah and the support didnt seem as good. I'm sticking with eblah.

Googled Perl OR CGI forums.  Found out in the Perl lingo "forum" isn't really used.  You'll just be driven to a forum about perl.  So started browsing free CGI script sites.  That's when I learned that in the Perl vocabulary, they're still being called Discussion, Community, and Bulletin Boards.  Started browsing that category and one had this as a 4/5 stars.

Ta-da.  I'm here. :)

I found the site!  It was on on softpedia.com :: actual link :: http://webscripts.softpedia.com/cat/Discussion-Boards-list-30-1-4-0.html

I stumbled across it today and knew I've seen it before... it's where I found you guys.  

It had a "Good" rating and the screenshots looked good as well as "E-Blah is a Perl-based forum system requiring very low system requirements."

Everything else like user features I figured I could build myself.  It's the DIV formatting and the underlying database structure that takes forever.

Quoted from marie2rob

Hi :-)

Found out about it on CGI.ResourceIndex.com.  I also read all the comments on it and went through this site reading everything I could about it.  Decided this was the one for me!  I LOVE IT!!!!  ;)

You should add a comment and rate it.  :)

I discovered an E-Blah forum on the website of a friend of a friend and since I'm needing to resurrect my own forum I thought I would check it out and now I have a tough decision to make as to which forum setup to use as I'm really liking E-Blah more than the one I just installed on my website.

Quoted from marie2rob

Hi Justin  ;)

It is done!  I rated it a 10 and left my comments.  They should be up shortly.  They will be under the user
mes.

Don't know why I didn't leave comments before...duh!!!  I had rated it a 10 but no comments, but that is fixed.

Thanks.  :)

I was a member of a forum that used it, then a friend set up a forum using E-Blah and made me an admin there. I've admin'd using phpBB, and modded on vBulletin but I like E-Blah :)

I found it on a website called forum matrix. They allowed me to work through a bunk of different software, I tried to run several but they all seemed to lack things I wanted and I kept coming back to eblah as being the one I liked.

You all say you love E-Blah... but we really know you just love Justin :)

Just did a dog pile search and E-Blah came up first.  I liked what I saw and I really liked the christian basis for the build.  I'll be installing it on my new site http://www.foreveranglican.com just as soon as I figure out how to do it.  :)

Quoted from PeaceAngel1

I really liked the christian basis for the build.

Agreed. :)

I found it in facebook. :)

Hi..I found it on Forum Matrix  http://www.forummatrix.org/show/E-Blah. I co-own a homeschooling web site and our forum program is on it's last legs due to be unsupported. I'm looking for a new forum program and I really, really like this one!

I'll be emailing you, Justin, to ask a few questions. :)
