    I want to make a free forum like freeforums.org but the problem is that they offer free forums on phpbb but i dont' like phpbb.

    Is there any free forums provider who give forums on vBulletin or MYBB?

    Do you know any of the provider? Please tell me.

    What makes you think that a free forum host would offer vbulletin? Don't you know that software isn't free?
    Anyways if you want a good forum check out http://proboards.com I've been using them for a while and the tend to preform quite better than the other ones out there.

    No, don't. Proboards is aweful. Nowhere near the features of offer software, no support for using proper domains, no ability to take backups or more to a proper host when your site grows big enough.

    Just go to http://www.forumhosters.net and request a free hosting plan, then you can choose whatever software of your choice.

    You have to go to the forum and post in the "ad-supported hosting" section.

    Agreed. Proboards looks good at first but once you start you are stuck with them forever (unless you want to loose all your members and posts). Also, they are too eager with the delete button, deleting forums on a first offense without warning or explanation.

    Yup, that exact same thing happened to a forum I know. It got deleted because someone spammed the site and then reported it.
