I wonder, can't you install a forum directly on your webserver?
This forum is really, really slow, and full of annoying ads.

Does your webserver support PHP and MySQL?
If not, I have some free webspace available if you want me to host your forum...?

Just an idea...

i think he hasnt a webserver but just using a free web host...
atfreeforum is a free web host and slow cause more forums r locatede on it and also full of banners (if u dont have adbock plus for FF installed ) cause its free and the company needs money to let those forums stay online.

Am i right real hotdog?

Sorry for the late reply
Anyways, I myself have never experienced too much slowdowns when using these forums, maybe it's because the server has a harder time sending data to The Netherlands or something :roll: As for the ads, as Nick said use AdBlock so you won't see them (I didn't even know they were here ).
To answer your real question, last time I checked, my webhost didn't support either MySQL or PHP (just checked again, and still no support... ) both which to my understanding are required.
For you to host these forums, well personally I haven't had any problems with this forum except that you can't backup the database (pretty bad incase the host disappears). On the other hand I wouldn't have so much against it either if and only if you feel this is necessary . In case you really want to do it we'll need to discuss some details at some point.

Wow necropost
Intentionally too

btw, I've never seen ads on this site/forum, but I use adblockers..

[Krom]

There is Google AdSense used here, above and below forum body.

I use ad blocker too, I really hate flash ads. When I'm at the library I don't have it though. If they were text I wouldn't mind but flash makes me angry. :x It is too distracting with flashing bits and bright colours.
I hate flash!! :evil:

They are indeed required, they are both needed for phpBB to work. This host has at least PHP4 and mySQL 5 (Or 4, can't remember).

And by the way, phpBB2.0.x is old- As in, ancient history. As of January 1st, 2009, no support will be offered for it. Any chance that this place will be upgraded to 3 sometime?

He has a point, my pages get super long because of the pics on the page. On a mobile device, well lets just say it isnt easy to deal with the page on a touchscreen then.
