hi, i need your opinion about making a free forum using free script, free hosting, etc ALL FREE !!! thanks
ok, they offer such service what are the advantages for a site which offer such offer? and disadvantages for use?
Advantages: * Powered by SMF * No forum size limits or bandwidth limits * Gallery Pro already installed and ready to use * Built in Arcade with over 100 games to use * Easy to use style editor to customize your forum * Member to member support community * Forum upgrades as your forum gets larger * System is updated all the time with the latest new features in forum software And of course...it's free. Disadvantages: They'll put ads somewhere on your site and probably won't allow you a lot of functionality and customization, so that you're forced to keep things there. If you want a copy of your backups, you'll probably have to pay quite a bit. Plus, they'll be extra copyright notices at the bottom of your forum, and things like that. If you're making a forum just for fun - go for it. If you're looking for something professional, you might just want to take a look at buying something. You can use free software such as SMF or MyBB, then you'll need only to pay for hosting and a domain. GoDaddy sells domains extremely cheap. I don't recommend them for hosting, though. If you are, however, looking for hosting - let me know, and we'll talk about the specifics.
