Any Free Forums You Could Recommend?
Can anybody recommend for a decent free forum to use for discussing one's game? Use any that you like?
I've looked at Freeforum and a couple of others and am overwhelmed by the choices.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Proboards? That's what I always use. U:

LSF uses phpBB3. I'm not sure if that should count as a recommendation, though.

phpBB3 is fine, but if ever you want to look for another, I personnaly use more often Simple Machines when I want to do that kind of thing : http://download.simplemachines.org/ (can look like that - sorry for the Fr ahah)

I've always had good luck with Invisionfree if I didn't have a server to upload my own forum software to.
The best reason to get up in the morning is to outdo yourself: to do it better than you've ever done it before. But if you haven't done it better by nightfall... look at your globe and pick a spot: it's always morning somewhere.

We use phpBB3 and that's why I recommend Simple Machines

Re: Any Free Forums You Could Recommend?
If you're going to go for remotely-hosted (opposed to self-hosted where you need organise your own hosting space, backups, etc), then you can't go wrong with Zetaboards. Out of the remotely-hosted options (Invisionfree, Proboards, etc), it has the most out-of-the-box features and has a reasonably easy to navigate Admin CP. It also looks a lot more modern than the other options and is pretty speedy to boot.
I used it for a couple of years before I switched to self hosting (MyBB). MyBB is also a pretty great option, but it takes more effort to maintain, so if you only want something to talk about your game with, I'd say stick to Zetaboards, or something else remotely-hosted.
