A nice open-source forum/bulletin board is phpBB2.
-> http://phpbb.com
There are many mods/hacks for it too.
-> http://phpbbhacks.com
-> http://phpbb-tweaks.com

I use phpBB2 with Blend Portal System and although there have been some security fixes lately i am happy with it/them....

Greetz,

i recommend myphp forum, it packs a lot of power in it's small packaging, offers all the conventional items that phpbb or ipb would have, download it at http://myphp.ws

I suggest that you install phpBB which is free. Recently phpBB has released version 2.0.13 which is really good. Since you are already hosted here you could install you have everything you need from database to php thingy.

The best would be if you installed your own forum..but then you need to have php and mysql hosting..phpbb is an easy and nice looking forum, and it's free....xmb is also free...and there are some others as well, you only have to search... ipb and vbulletin are also great, but they aren't free...if you have trap17 hosting then you can have ipb
but some free forum hosting places:
One I know Myfreebb, there is a phpbb forum hosting
Another phpbb forum is in Jconserv, that comes with some mods..
Invisionfree is a good IPB hosting place...
Actually you should go to google and search for free forum hosting, then you'll find a lot of pages...
ofcourse they all have some adds....and you cannot configure some things..but they are ok..

I recomend the best, ipb 1.3, it is free and it looks really good in front of people. I personally like it because of the layou is well done and hence it looks very good. You can get skins for it that just rock and get the latest modz here:
CODE
www.invisionize.com

This is all being done forfree and ipb is soo user firendly that you dont have to do nything to install the forum and have it running in no time. Also if it gos wrong, just reupload the forum and volla, it works again unlike other forums where you manually have to adjust things to your liking, ipb does that all for u and did i mention it is free rolleyes.gif laugh.gif

Invizionize is good but if you are looking for something to put on your server go with PHPbb. I have used it before and it is very reliable as far as I have found.

I use IPB 2 I found it on Limewire Pro. I think the features of it are awesome. You can install templates in less than 30 seconds (Not preinstalled either) biggrin.gif
