Alright, I'm going to mod the next SDMB mafia game! Woo! But I have absolutley no idea how to set up a scum board. Note that I'd only need one, since there are no masons or conversing third parties. I've got the weekend to get it ready, due to board update, and your help would not go unmentioned. Thanks!

Just go to www.proboards.com and click on the word "create" in "You can go ahead and create your own forum for free". Remember, the "username" that you create is the name in the URL (like psychopathgame for this board), your actual username on that board will be "Admin".

Or, to be more helpful, go to proboards.com, sign up for a new board, and then come back.
Setting it up is fairly self explanatory - as long as the URL is unique, you shouldn't need any kind of passwords or security. Lotsa folks here to assist, though, if you get stuck. Feel free to PM me if you need, I'm not on the Dope so I won't be a security risk. *g*

I have one you can use, if you want. One already made (and it's been used by past scum in games).

Nah, I made a new one. Not linking to it, in case one of you end up as town. But how do you password protect--El Konky, I know I don't really need it but I'd like to know.

Hang on, I have the PM Idle sent me way back when that explains how to work proboards as an admin. It will take me a little bit to find it, but I will forward it on to you. It should answer all the questions you might have.

Go to your admin tab up top, select modify board, and under board settings is the option for a password.

Yeah, what he said.
If you need any more help in how to modify things, I can help you out, if you want....just PM and ask (or ask in here).

Okay...but how do you approve an account?

Admin -> Manage Members. If there's an account pending approval, there will be a link to see it.
