Is itr possible to have HTML-only forums?

Think of it this way, is it possible to hsave forums that would run from a
local drive, on a Win-98 machine, with NO modifications (no php, IIS or
nothing)??

No, HTML is a way to _structure_ data, it can't process, sort or store it.

HTML documents don't gain magic powers from being run on a new operating
system, or in the presence of a network.

Don't be so ****ing sarcastic. It was just a question, and thought it
*could* make a difference.

You asked if a forum could be made without scripting. Several people
told you "no". David went so far as to tell you what HTML is. To use
your sentence structure and preference, don't be so ****ing stupid. How
much clearer could he have been?

You could install a web server on the w2k pro machine and run BB scripts
on it.

There are however a few free forum programs (php) that don't require a
database as most do.(they just write to html)
