Well, my company URL is coming up - can you setup a message board such as this? Additionally i might need some other things like a Submission script (they fill something out and it gets sent to the CGI bin for reviewing)
To the best of my knowledge this message board is MySQL, im not sure. Anyway hope to hear from you!
Hmmm, from the extension for this page, it look slike ASP to me. I thought MySQL only runs on Linux boxes. Linux != WinNT.
Correct me if I am wrong. Just wanted to let you know. Usually MySQL is run from PHP scripts, which run on Linux. Also, CGI (also PERL scripts) run on UNIX boxes, which means if the aforementioned scriptor does ASP and SQL exclusively, would not help your CGI scripts out.

Just to clear things up from Joviex post.
CGI-scripts are not soley run from UNIX-boxes. CGI stands for common gateway interface and is just a way for input from web-forms to be sent to an external application. This application can be a perl script running on Linux or might just as well be run on a Win32 box (perl is available for a wide variety of platforms).
Second of all, MySQL client AND server software is available for both Win32 and Linux. But even if the MySQL server wasn''t available on Win32 this would be no problem since an application communicates to MySQL (or any other SQL-server) via TCP/IP! This means that the MySQL-server might be run on a Linux box while ASP-pages accessing it is on a WinNT server.
And last: You do not need to use PHP to communicate with a MySQL-server. PHP is just one of the many programming languages which has a MySQL-access library. Just to mention a few other languages with good MySQL support: perl, c++ and ASP.
Hope this cleared things up =)

Oh and one more thing i forgot:
There is actually a sort of wrapper available that makes it possible to use ASP-pages on a Linux Apache server. So just because a site has a script with the ending .asp it doesn''t mean that the server is running WinNT.
i think im done now, hope i didn''t ruin anyones ego =)

No ego bruised here 
One thing however, Keelmodee, ASP is not just for displaying. It is basically VBScript, which is basically Visual Basic. It is extremely powerful and can run circles around everything else, just like everything else can run cirlces around it.
