Hi, I've been searching for good free forum hosting for months now, and I think the best is forumotion. It has a wealth of features, including a chatbox & the ability to have banners to the left & right of the forum content. However, when I try to add my own adsense into a module, it shows as "this page cannot be displayed." Can anyone help out with this? (link below) thanks http://free-advertising.forum3.info/
While a free-hosted forum saves you money, but it does not provide you a secure future. One day your forum will grow exponentially and you might have problems relocating somewhere else. The host will then ask you to pay and the free offer is no longer applicable. Find a good webhost and think and invest in long term goals.
You better read the TOS (terms of service) of the free host before you jumped in. It happened to me in a paid host in which I was asked to upgrade to VPS because my forum was too big for a shared host.
