If you open that link it has more detail:

Got it working.

Good to hear.

Looks like I setup two domains and the second one wasnt
being served. Must be something in the httpd.conf file but im not sure where that is. :)

Synchronet doesn't use an httpd.conf file, so not sure what you're referring to there (an Apache http config file?).

I was just trying to figure out how to have the website load up on piratebbs.com and its CNAME bbs.piratebbs.com.

Thanks,

Chris
