Hi, I'm brand new and an up and coming webmaster. The functionality on this site would be great for a dating service. Does anyone know what technology is used (ASP.NET or Perl/Cgi is my closest guess.)

You might want to start with phpBB, as it is free.

I know a board that is even better than this one uses snitz and its free. Although the webmaster has done some major hacking of it. The site consumes 1.5 gigs of bandwidth a day.

I have a catapult. Give me all of your money (valuables) or I'll fling an enormous rock at your head.

First of all, welcome! (BTW, are you really a girl? If so, you are one of very few here. Double welcome! )

As for tools used to build this board, if '.../php/something.php?....' part of URL tells you nothing (and you want to learn webmeisterei), I suggest a look at some of these sites:
  • http://www.php.net (the thing began as simple HTML preprocessor... )
  • http://www.zend.com (a company making the living out of free PHP - a lot of free resources there)
  • http://www.apache.org (free http server that runs most of the Web - illustrates the power of Open Source perhaps even better than Linux itself)
  • http://www.zope.org (web application server or content management system, depending on your angle - free, of course)
  • http://www.possl.org (Open Source version of an enterprise-caliber n-tier web-enabled development tool)
These will keep you occupied for months

Have fun!
