I''ve been thinking of upgrading my guild site to forum based, unfortunatley I don't know how to do it.

 

I understand however that this type of forum system is simplistic and commen?

 

I would really appriciete it if someone could explain this to me, give me a dowload or a site, anything would be great. Thanks.

You can use invisionfree, its a very good system, and its free, lol :D

 

http://invisionfree.com/

 

 

 

or, if you want to pay for one, I suggest Invision Power Board:

Thanks mate.

There are quite a few 'free' forum services around, which pretty much handles the hosting, software.... Although they can have heaps of advertisements. But for a small hobby forum, they are fine. So I suggest for your guild one of these would be the best option.

 

 

 

 

 

There are better options around which gives you more controls and freedom.

Other options are vbulletin which is very good, but expensive, phpbb is popular, and hence a target for script kiddies. Invision Boards are pretty good.

Thank's to you too.

Because I was bored I made a quick forum using a fairly typical free service.

 

 

 

http://www.ezforums.org

 

 

 

It provides a easy way to get a free forum up and running with most of the expected features and adverts which occur with free hosts.

 

 

 

 

 

If you, or anyone want to play around with it you can use the test forum I created here. But then it only takes 10 seconds to make your own.
