I've always thought that the stupid question is the one you don't ask so here's mine;
I've been managing a vBulletin site for our motorcycle club (www.gunsnhoses.org/forum) for over a year and now, would like to create a forum for another club website (www.pastimeac.org), but the vBulletin $160 is not in the budget. I've downloaded the latest version of ikonboard after looking at some reviews. The second club already has a website on an unknown server and webmaster. My question is, how can I administer the Board? Could I use the server I have my vBulletin forum on? Would the webmaster on the Pastime site point a link to this server?

Thanks
Bill

Buy a leased license for only $85.

I'd enquire about the other site, what server its on etc and move all the files onto your server.

Thanks very much for your help on this, I'm trying to not upset the apple cart. In other words, I want to make this as least intrusive to the webmaster as possible so, moving over to the server I use is a last resort. I'd prefer to use their server if I can't just use mine for the forum software. I'll look at the lease license. Is that a yearly lease?

Yeah, that'll last you a year. Good if you don't know if you'll still be running the board same time next year.

The question still remains about the server. Can the webmaster point a link from the existing webpage and server to a separate server for the forums?

Don't know if I fully understand what you're saying.
But putting a link is no problem.
But it's probably a problem is the other server has to connect to a database on your server.
Most hosts don't allow connections to a database on another server.
