    Ok, so ive almost finished coding my own forum script. I want it to be free for anyone to use but how do you think i should go about marketing it? i have little money.

    My goal is for it to become pretty popular.

    It's totally based on what language what specialties your forum has.

    I use phorum.org I market them for free. Cause they are much more better then vb :)

    Well it is made with php and i guess the main advantage of it is thats its really fast because it doent have lots of things to slow it down like other software

    Could you forward a demo for us to see. I might give an idea on how to market the project.

    It's quite easy...You should give people to use it for free, then place "powered by you" at the bottom of the forum and this is the viral markerting for you ;)

    Get a few new boards to use it and hope they get popular, then everything will go from there.

    You should find some way to make money off it since you spent a lot of time developing it. Maybe donations.
