Is there any decent free forum scripts I can load onto my site? anyplaces on the net I can find many scripts in one place?

 

No one wants to take a stab?

 

bb press is quite good consumes very low bandwidth

if you can afford high bandwidth then you can go for PHP BB

both are free

 

simplemachines.org offers a very advanced but easy to use forum script for free.

 

i have used phpbb3 and smf forums. In my opinion smf is easier to manage.
The installation of mods for phpbb3 is time consuming. If you want easiness go for smf.
You can find really good themes for phpbb3, i decided to go with phpbb3 on one of my forum as i found a good theme for it which isn't available for smf.

 

Take a look at MyBB if you are just looking for a bare bones not to complicated forum that seems to work pretty well.

 

I would recommend PhpBB forum script. It is very easy and also free

Many forums start with phpbb and then upgrade to other scripts.

 

Thanks guys I have installed PhpBB3 and am learning the admin panel. Any videos you know of to learn from or should I just fool with it? Some I understand some I dont.

Just tell us what you need help with

 

phpBB -> http://phpbb.com check it out, its awesome and all templates are pretty much free and customizations.

 

phpbb has lot of styles, but its difficult to manage, i think smf is the easiest one available.

 

My personal favorite is mybb: http://www.mybboard.net

It's simple and easy to use and it comes with a great admin panel
