What type a forum are you planning to have? Do you have a domain name? Hope its not illegal or adult content.

I may be able to let you have a phpBB forum for free, but you will have to do two things:
1. Put my link in the footer. ;)
2. Let me have 1 ad-sense link unit + search box on every page, you can place 3 of your ads on the pages. Adsense allows max 5 ads on the page - 3 normal ads + 1 link unit + 1 search box.

Hi Guys
Do know whether this is a right place to ask or not
but still m asking
as like Digit is a Technology forum i need a forum for Medical
for building my health
as this is a fact that IT people sit in front of PC for more than 10hrs a day
so its abvs. that they'll suffer from a back pain, sleepdisk, etc.
So for taking care i need to join such a Health Forum
Pls help..........

my suggestion:-
1.)go to this site. *www.frihost.com/forums/
2.)sign up on their forums and cr8 a hosting account. u need to remain active on their forums.
3.)download phpBB and upload it to the root of your account. then install it. u can place ads easily then.

i recommend frihost as i m also using it. alternatively, u could try zeeblo. u dont need to remain active on their forums. it's as gud as frihost but only one MySQL database.
