Here's the thing.
Even though I have some website creation experience, I think that I may have to not do Instruite's site because:
#1: When I want to do a site, I want to revamp it. That means, take the entire domain owned by Instruite and improving on it.
#2: Instruite has strict requirements which can prevent me from doing site revamping.
#3: Instruite runs an educational site. For me to just change it could cause havoc among the students, should some students not know computers.
But you never know, if Instruite accepts a revamp, I will reconsider.
and Instruite, if it is just the forum you want to change, why not install PHPBB like what is installed here?
