I have my forum hosted on here for 21 days i think having it on here is much better, you have control of everything, can change anything and have no ads, the problems are that you have space limitations. I guess though for people new to forums and running one might not want access to everything so they dont screw anything up.
ps my forum is phpbb www.rc-forum.co.uk This post has been edited by Bkag: Aug 31 2006, 06:36 PM |

I quite like these free forum hosting services and have even used a couple when I've needed a free discussion forum for my website quickly when I haven't had the time to set up manually using a hosting account.
One piece of advice though, I wouldn't use any web hosting account like trap17 or any other free web account service for creating forums, especially if your forum is likely to be popular, as there's a high chance that there isn't enough bandwidth for the board and the hosting account will be suspended for running out of bandwidth. Additionally, many webhosts don't like people having various bulletin boards, such as invision power board, on their servers, due to security vulnerabilities. I believe trap17 have even banned various versions of invision power board from their servers. The advantages of using these free forum hosting services are that if you don't wish to pay to have your own dedicated server, this method ensures you have enough bandwidth, it is also extremely quick and easy to set up. The only main disadvantage is that you have advertisements. At the end of the day, it's down to you, the users, whether you want to set up a free forum hosting account on one of the free forum hosting websites, or whether you want to run it on your own server. As said above, I would go for the free forum hosting. There's only a few things that have been disabled on the free services. |

I must admit i was a junkie for free forums before i found the awsome Trap17. In all my experience Jconserv and invisionfree were the best.
Invisionfree has lots of codes, support sites and mods. http://support.invisionfree.com http://ifcode.com (Now shutdown but still good) http://ifsz.com http://thecodingzone.com Jconserv was the best free phpbb host. Lots of customisability (is that a word?) and great support. |

QUOTE(husker @ May 17 2006, 12:17 AM)  I HATE free forum creators such as this one. Why not use this free hosting they supply here and get a real forum? With that, you cannot edit anything, but if you just get it here, then you can edit anything you want. I dont see the point in these... But I suppose this is ok for beginners wait....so trap17 will provide us with forums? i dont understand......how else do we get forums? is that all trap17 does is give us a site with pre-installed forums? sorry.....i was just wondering
