Need a free Forum source code

Hey all ,

As the title says :
I want to set up a forum pretty fast and need a source code without paying 150 $ for it .
As I´m pretty much a noob in setting up a forum any help is welcome!
Thanks

Try this:
http://www.phpbb.com/

go a step beyond and build something that gives u the ability that in the future u can integrate your forum in a dynamic way

http://sourceforge.net/projects/tikiwiki/

also free. it's a forum, but loaded with extras.

thanks guys! sounds good.

I can suggest HostGator for an inexpensive and reliable host. I've been with them for half a year hosting two websites and I haven't had a single problem. I can't say they're the absolute cheapest, but they're damn good. Their cheapest monthly plan is about $9.

Web Hosting Talk is a great place to research different hosts. I wouldn't rely on google for web hosting info.. when I was searching for mine, all I could find were paid reviews.

i'd definitely go for giga-hosting international. ;)

Anyone did make any experiences with sitevalley ?
They seem pretty fair to me.

Helpful thread. I was thinking of opening a forum recently to learn a bit about php and hosting. Thanks for the links. :)

if you want to see how a tracker works, staff wise, install tbdev.
just did my first install, and i'm enjoying it so far.
makes one thing about opening his own site :D

I thought about installing gazelle just for fun but for now I´ll stick to the forum.
But one day ... :)
