Hey! I was just wondering if there were any forums that I could use for free..like start my own forum or something..one that kinda looks decent i guess...just wondering if there is one tho thanks!

Do you want the forum software, or do you want it hosted for you? :unsure:

[bigdawgfoxx]

ummmm it dont matter to me..i dont know the diff lolol

I just want to be like the admin on it and stuff and have some members and be able to make new groups and stuff..would that work?

and what about getting it on google do i have to pay?

Well phpBB is open source I belive but you'll need a host to upload content. Also depending on users, you're bandwith would need to be pretty high. I doubt you could have a free forum on a free website that also allows MySQL etc... The forum would collapse after 10 users started posting.

Try DarkBlizzard (http://www.darkblizzard.com/) as a website host, prices are extremely good. Just have to look into how much bandwith and webspace you'll need. How many users are you planning on having? Maybe 7th could help you on the exact details...

That hosting & prices are diabolical bigdawgfoxx,dont touch that shit.Start a thread about hosting.Theres plenty of members that know good ones.

The best free forum software IMO is Invision Power Board. The best forum software, again, IMO, is vBulletin. :)

The only thing that costs is support, extras, and removing the link in the footer.

:P

That is simply a trial, in which you can use forever.

Besides the fact that it has an unlimited trail offer, does not mean it is free. ;)

Still not convinced, eh?

Say Invision Power Board is Adobe Photoshop, just because you can download the "trail" version off of their website, dosn&#39;t mean the software is free.

I would know, I have worked for Invision Power Board before. ;) (And no, that is not a joke)

[h1]

LOL, NightStalker, that was obviously a joke. :P I know it&#39;s not free, but many people interpret an infinite trial as being so.

And I do believe you when you say you were an IPS employee -- you certainly seem smart and knowledgeable enough. :)
