    I would recommend using php-fusion, which is what I use. It is a forum and news site built into one, which gives you the option of displaying recent forum posts on the front page. Best of all, it is free and has many free themes available for it. One can also hire a designer to make a php-fusion theme.

    Thanks Jmgdesigns,

    I've bookmarked php-fusion. Can you transfer to VB with php-fusion or is that option only for phpbb?

    What webhost do you use? :)

    It seems too good to be true theCulturePhile!

    Free phpbb and free webhosting? WTF is the catch? :D

    a slight catch - they require you to go onto my forum and become an active participant.

    it is a good service! they drag you in with free then get you to sign up as you learn more... thats what happened with me.

    Ha! K, I'll sign up in an hour or so :D

    I just bought my first domain name with Dynodot. I want to use it to practise phpbb with a free web host first. Can I change web hosts later on and keep all my future members/posts?
