I know that Forumer provide a secure hosting service. They also let you modify your forum through Fmods It is a pretty cool host and they wont let you down. I would reckon that they are the best but you dont have to take my word for it.

the ansew is: look at the invision site at the 2nd entry and you have a link to download ipb.

(someone should fork this)

Unfortunately you can no longer get the free version of IPB. If you obtain a copy from a site it it deemed as piracy for some reason and you can get into quite a bit of trouble for it. If you have a copy of it which you obtained from IPS when it was free or installed it Via fantastico or cPanel (which you cannot do either anymore ) then that's fine. The only way to obtain a V1.3.1 final copy would be to beg IPS for one but very few if any have been able to get one. PHPBB3 can do pretty much the same as IP Board 2.2x (IPS renamed IPB to IP Board for the release of 2.2 Final)

So think about using PHPBB

Edit: I left out the fact that there are hosts who provide IPB 1.3.1 and that's fine as they have held onto a copy of the free one after you had to pay for it.

As far as i know they don't offer it free anymore. But there are a lot of good free ones still being offereed which are also really good. So you should look at phpbb becuase i have used it and its not to bad. I don't like it as much as ipb but its a start.

I can help to get IPB v.2.3.2 full. If you can work with torrent files you can find it on TorrentBox.

Get a different software, like phpwind, or discuz. They are all pretty good
