Wait! No need to scream! This is not a new satellite board and/or demented offspring and/or wannabe spidweb. My purposes are entirely unrelated to these boards. I'm looking for suggestions for a free message board service. In particular I'm hoping some one knows of one that uses banner ads rather than pop-ups, though any suggestions would be welcome. -------------------- Take the Personality Test!

I'm guessing ezboard is right out? Right. Just checking. Unfortunately, I'm not sure there are too many other options out there that won't cost you something. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

I have a forum that is powered by this. No need to worry, Its safe and 100% free. Hope you found this helpful :) EDIT: This one uses banner ads [ Sunday, December 18, 2005 20:30: Message edited by: Archmage Mycroft ] -------------------- If Skribbane dosn't kill me, canisters will.

Invisionfree or Proboards, maybe? Posts: 3234 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

Invisionfree isn't perfect, but out of the three options of ezboard (DON'T!) and Proboards (if you must), it is the best. ezboard feels under no obligation to ensure that what you post today will still be there tomorrow or next year. In fact, after 20 pages of threads (20*25=500), the boards auto-delete the old ones, for your viewing pleasure, free of charge. ;) Proboards... you can live on a Proboard (on an ezboard too, btw, you just wish you didn't), but the admin panel is supposedly somewhat nasty to handle (haven't tried myself yet, unlike the others). Also, if you ever join one, use a password you don't mind the admins seeing in cleartext - like here, in fact. Invisionfree is free, and ergo bad - sadly that's the way with forum services. Fortunately, however, it uses IPB, the best forum software I've yet seen, short maybe of vBulletin. -- If you expect the board to get big, consider hosting it yourself...

You can go CSM's way and created a SuddenLaunch forum, which is YaBB and pop-up-less. What more could you ask. :P -------------------- -ben4808 Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |

That it doesnt put any spyware on your computer. Which from my experiences from going to CSM it doesn't. Ok I fixed my post.

Forgotten, you forgot the punctuation again. Also, you will have to search far and wide for a forum site that can put spyware on your PC (because what else gets spyware?). Not even ezboard does that, and they're creeps. -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

When I was trying to create a message board, I used Invisionfree. It's a great board, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. -------------------- Lo siento, no hablo espanol. Posts: 9 | Registered: Saturday, December 17 2005 08:00 |

While 10 days isn't always an unacceptable topic revival, Aran's already chosen which board host to use, so it was rather pointless. Posts: 3234 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |
