And your ISP doesn't restrict you from hosting services.

Especially true, but I haven't experienced many that restrict you from
port 80. I guess being in Vermont doesn't help.

In the early days of the web, Matt Wright developed a web forum
called WWWBoard using Perl scripts, which required no database,
no javascript, just HTML pages with CGI forms calling Perl
scripts. Posts are stored as separate pages with threading
information embedded in each, so no database is needed.

It still exists on Matt's Script Archive at
http://www.scriptarchive.com and although it's primitive by today's
standards, I continue to marvel at its elegance and simplicity.

... a huge number of scripts which even he acknowledges (having learned
better) are insecure, poorly written, and should *not* be used.

What I marvel at is the fact that even today, when MSA's shortcomings
are so well-known and thoroughly documented, people are *still* being
duped into using them.

Do yourself a favor - use the NMS versions instead:
