damian Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 Anyone know what a good site is to host forums (message boards) that are free. like invisionfree.com i would go with them but i dont like that they have such a complicated URL, it would look like this: s6.invisionfree.com/yourboard/ i want something simple so ppl wont be confused. This will be for a quake 3 server. And it has to be free, not trial but free. Anyone have any recommendations? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

damian Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 it seems like that is my best bet. if i could say do you or anyone else know of one that allows cursing, a bit odd but i would like my users to have freedom of speech lol but if not i will just use forumup.com thanks!

confuzzedintelguy Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 I used invision free back in the day biggest thing i liked is the software IPB software is just awesome and pretty easy to work with especially if you buy the whole deal other then use the free version as a lot of the files are zend encoded but if purchased it has a world of options for things you can do with it.

Nerm Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 I could offer you hosting through me but it wouldn't be free. Your best bet is probably invision free as far as quality of a free forum software goes. If you don't like their forum addresses for the free version you could buy a domain name and use domain forwarding at a low cost.

Verran Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 If you don't like their forum addresses for the free version you could buy a domain name and use domain forwarding at a low cost. Actually I think you can still get dynamic DNS services to your own domain name free through zoneedit. Last I knew the free account was limited to like 5 domains or something, but it was always enough for my one site DynDNS stuff is a little tricky at first but it's not bad. Still, I'd recommend going through a free third party host first like Nerm said, if possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerm Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Yes, zoneedit still offers up to 5 free dynamic DNS. What I meant by low cost is that if he purchased a domain name to use he would have to pay a yearly domain fee to have his own domain.

Ah, gotcha! :thumbs-up: Yeah those fees are so low that I ended up paying like 10 years out on a domain I don't even use anymore just in case. So I still think of it as a one time thing even though it's actually yearly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
