@_Aerospace_Eng_Dec 22.2005 — #These forums are vBulletin, they aren't free. [url=http://www.phpbb.com]phpbb forums[/url] however are free and will give you a similar type forum, they are probably the best free forum on the market IMO. In order for you to use them though you will need to have a server that supports php and allows you to use a mysql database. If you don't have any of these then maybe something like [url=http://www.jconserv.net/]Jconserv.net[/url] which hosts free phpbb forums may be a better option for you.
@UltimaterDec 23.2005 — #Awesome, this is about the 10th time I linked someone to that page. I'm very glad I took the time to write it up. A side note that it doesn't preform so well on Macs.
@kelly23Dec 26.2005 — #It needs to be installed on your server. Check out the installation instructions at the [url=http://www.phpbb.com]phpbb site[/url], although many hosts have PhpBB pre-installed, so check out your hosting account to see if it's already installed.
