Hi,

Are you hosting it on your own server? Or on a separate free webhost?
Then you might want to take a look at http://e107.org/news.php for an excellent free open source CMS system. They have an integrated forum with a host of other easy-to-install plugins. An alternative would be to head to http://www.simplemachines.org/ for another good and reliable free forum software.

If you just want a forum service, I would recommend http://forumer.com. They offer both phpBB and IPB (take your pick) boards. Some of the features that caught my eye were:
UNLIMITED STORAGE
UNLIMITED BANDWIDTH
AD REMOVAL <--- you need to be active on their support forums though.
FREE SUPERCOOL SUBDOMAINS:
myforum.forumer.com <-- great subdomain
myforum.999.org
myforum.tt.cx
myforum.x.am
If you don't have a particular preference, IPB would be a better choice as it has a good modifications support for customized templates and features.

Looking for an excellent webhost with bannerless/ad-less services?
I recommend http://110mb.com. They offer 2000 MB space and 100 000 MB monthly bandwidth along with a host of other features you can't find in free, bannerless webhosters.

If you would like to support me, please head to the 110mb homepage through this referral link: http://www.110mb.com/aff.php?un=jalenoes.
Bear in mind, this does NOT generate me any income. Just that I get a chance of displaying my homepage link on 110mb.com's homepage if I refer a lot of users to sign up. I am not forcing anyone to do it, so don't click if you don't want to.

Cheers.

P.s: Mods please correct my post if it violates any of the rules. I'm not sure what constitutes advertising.

110mb.com registration opening again by June 13th-15th. Previously registration was closed due to problems on box9. New registrations will be on a new server (box10).

For features from the FREE plan, take a look here: http://www.110mb.com/plans.php

Do take note that for new registrations, they are limiting mySQL queries to 1000 queries only. You have to upgrade to continue using the mySQL database. This isn't a big problem if you are not going to use the DB.



Edit: Registration opening 20th June due to late delivery of new server. (According to their admin)
