I am considering getting my own forum to use for various groups and topics. An example would be clans in a game. I've never tried to get my own forum, so things like php are alien to me. I will consider things like paying for hosting if I see a clear advantage, but I would prefer to keep it on free hosting, even if there are ads, but no popups.

Cheeseburgermafia (great name by the way!): I don't know about free (all the free forums I've used sucked - ezboard is the pits), but BYOND Members can create guilds, which include forums. That's $15/year, which comes out to $1.25 per month - pretty cheap! Other than that, you could get a web hosting plan and put forum software on the server yourself (it's usually pretty easy) - but they tend to be more expensive. DreamHost, for example, charges $7.95 a month (and that's if you sign up for two years). | |

Other than those suggestions you could look around the hub at other peoples boards. A lot of them are hosted on free board websites. | |

It's called "SAGOON", and it's not much of a surprise where it's from. :P Figured I'd pass that over if you would want to know. | |
"Note: The Free Hosting Package is set by default to expire after 1 year. All customers can renew their free hosting accounts for free."
Wait so it stops hosting after a year, you just tell it to start hosting again? Would everything you have on the site get deleted? If not I just might sign up, I've been looking for a new webhost :D | |
Well my friends been with them for 2 years and he actually got to activated the same account he was using.

It's an actual code for DreamHost, it provides a referal to BYOND's DreamHost account, and they take the amount of discount from the referal payment.
