HELP me Please!!

[neo2525]

I have a forum: ourteenlife.phpbbnow.com

Is it possible for me to remove the ads placed on it and replace them with my own?

Thank you

Like of course not, how do you think the service is available free to you? The adverts pay for the service. If you want your own ads, then get your own hosting.

I can host your forum for free with no ads

The site says

"We try to keep our finaces healthy just by inserting small non intrusive ads in the forums. By no means you will experience annoying pop up windows and the like. Most of our ads are text fragments with closely related content within the context where they appear."

They're using Google Adsense - I doubt if they'll let you remove it and replace it with your own.

Unless they have a paid option?

I just clicked on the link to your site and got a 404 error. Just a heads up

[newrhodes]

Just also noticed - site says

"Our users have posted a total of 0 articles
We have 1 registered user"

If you don't like the ads, don't use the service - shouldn't create any problems to anyone.

my site is working for me

Champshost is giving me a 404 error. Hypon is fine.

why donot you try phpbb this 100% free and you are going to have more control over your forum

[Old Welsh Guy]

My guess is he/she doesn't have a hosting account.

[neo2525]

I have a php programmer who can write the forum for me, but I just was looking for free hosting without the use of ads

[daboss]

hmm... hosting costs peanuts nowadays... if you are willing to WRITE a forum script from scratch, why not get proper hosting?

[Old Welsh Guy]

You can host a phpbb forum for less than $3 a month.

[surchin]

there are plenty of cheap hosting solutions on the net nowadays...shouldnt break the bank especially if ur gonna place ads on it for a profit.

[PaulJames]

just a thought, but i'm pretty sure u can get free PhPbb scripts from almost anywhere i got mine with my hosting company so theres no need to write new php, save ur self the time and money. Get a hosting company first though, lol

[slickricky]

I can set you up with hosting, that could handle this and much more, and you can automatically install a forum from the control panel, without the need for any php coding. All for $75.00 a year.

[Grafstein]

no you cant,
all those free hosts dont allow it.

[CutPrice]

No you can't remove their ads. But I think freepowerboards.com (another free phpbb forum) offer phpbb hosting and you can add adbrite to your forum but not google adsense. They can also offer assistance in adbrite application/installation to your site. But I didn't get their service since I want my forum to have my own adsense. I suggest that if you have an existing site, you can just add a forum to it by going to your admin panel, Fantastico offers one click PhpBB installation. No coding needed. You just need to replace the default header and that's pretty much what you need to do.

Good luck :D

i wasn't referring to free hosts, i pay around £100 a year for mine and get almost eveything i could ever want, lol
