Hosting other foruns

We have some bands that are interested in opening a forum in the forum that i admnistrate.

How can I host a forum?
I have no clue how this works.
Thank you

You can create forumds and subforums in your board, one forum for each band Wink

I know that.
But my question is, how to link them, as an unique forum.

I mean: they are in my forum, which as its own logo, etc. But, when you go to their board, they don't have any logo, they are just a part of my forum.
My question is, how to host them as an individual forum Wink

If I understand what do you want I think it's not possible

Make a new forum? Help them make a new forum? Dedicate your forum towards them?

Those are some things that I can think of. (By the way, can some one help me before my forum is a spam hole?)

For example, if you go to the Doomed forum, the forum itself is dedicated to doom-metal genre.

but, they have official forums for a lot of bands.
if you clic on the My Dying Bride's , for example, their forum is called My Dying Bride forum, and not Doomed forum. It's independent, but supported by the Doomed forum.

It's not possible to have forums within forums Wink

There is a small trick you could do, which us using HTML pages to like seperate and then use the permissions in such a way as that you can't see the forum, but can read and answer if given the link, the problem is you'd need to link directly to the topic
