I want to start a Sodablasting forum on my website and I’m not sure how to do it. Does anyone have vbulletin, or a good alternative that I can try out? Also, I’m wondering if it is hard to set up?

Why start one when you can steal one?

Ok, so I set it up and I need suggestions of forums to ad to it and any other changes or hacks. This is going to be primarily for fellow blasters to be able to discuss equipment, techniques, or whatever. The website is [www.blastoffny.com/forums](http://www.blastoffny.com/forums)
