1. phpBB • Creating Communities Worldwide

2. ProBoards.com - Free Message Boards

I haven't used any others, but you can google "start a free forum" and go from there.

:: Create Forum free Forums

OwnForum.org - create a you own free forum . Automatic forums maker

Both are phpBB based...the first uses an older version and so allows HTML editing and inclusion of Adsense...the second is the latest version of phpBB but doesn't allow HTML editing or Adsense

You won't be able to create a forum quite as good as this with a free 'forum maker' but you'll get all the essentials for a forum! Best of luck with it if you decide to make one...

There are many hosts that will allow you to make free forum. All you basically have to do is go to Google and search for "free forum hosts" and voila, you'll find an everlasting list!

Here are some of the well-known ones:

InvisionFree (Free message board hosting)

ZetaBoards » Free message board hosting

Create your own free forum, FORUMOTION - Make your forum for free

Free Forums - Free PhpBB 3.0.4 forum hosting

If you like a challenge (and don't mind wasting some time learning), you can program it from scratch using PHP and MySQL, like I did.

If you go down the route of getting hosting and installing phpBB then remember you need to be able to include some kind of database...so you'd need something like MySQL - not all free hosts supply this, infact most don't!
