What is the best Forum program out there, for free?

[master]

I do not know php, or mysql, so I'm sure I'm pretty limited, If maybe i can get an existing forum, and just mess with the admin stuff, that would be great. I will not learn php or sql right now, b/c i am very busy and don't have the time. Any suggestions?

well if you want something really easy and even free than I guess Iwould suggest either Proboards or Ezboards....their the easiest i know without having to use php or mysql.....lol

[master]

[SniperWolf]

thnx, I just never used ezboards, I like some things about proboards, but it does lack some stuff..

[SniperWolf]

Yea it does i suppose, its fun though if ya have a good forum set up...ezboards is ok but their pop-ups get annoying and i wasnt fond of their set up but knock yerself out i put some other search links on their as well if ya wanna check out some more.

Awesome... I was looking for that place but forgot the name.

Hzmm....I found a better, ad-free site that hosts invision boards + extra skins -
http://www.forumer.com/

proboards does lack stuff (design for one!)

http://www.forumsforall.net/ will host remote boards for you. Only catch is you have to be active on their forums.

If you could get a webhost with PHP and MYSQL, one of the members, such as me, would msot likely be glad to help you. I could install you the "better" forum software, such as phpbb2 and invision. That way you could add hacks,etc.

Also, I'm not sure if it's still up, but http://www.bbfree.com provides free remote forums. I believe they have to remain active, however.
