Coding an ASP-based Bulletin Board

That being said, it is still a good article and good code. As a developer, there is often a tradeoff between the ease of programming and the efficiency of the script.

This messageboard system is good for beginners wanting to learn more about nested forums, and very useful for sites that don't expect hundreds or thousands of daily messages. If you do expect such conditions, you should invest in a commercial messageboard application.

Recently I ran into a programmer's nightmare-due to a server upgrade, those handy cgi bulletin board scripts provided by my host no longer ran, and when I went to generate new ones, I discovered that they were "in development", web-ese for "sometime this century". But what about my 20 or so non-running boards?
I had been puzzling over how to convert my boards to ASP for some time. You see, adding the info to the database was no problem, but formatting the output was the kicker. It turned out the answer was nested loops!
