waited for so long?

I know you said you found one but here's one anyway; http://hostedboard.com/ using the phpbb.com system. You don't need to worry about hosting and such.

48 mins long - Its as bad as an extremely late train in Japan is 5 seconds late!

Another handy place to use for finding particular systems such as forums in the future reference is hotscripts.

To make a forum, you need to pay for the hosting charges, and then you need to choose a domain name, then you will have to choose from a number of templates specially designed for forums.

in current sociaty,to creat a fourm is easier than before,if you have a host ,have a domain name,then you can think about what kind of forum.etc.discuss forum.likewww.webmaster-talk.com. there are exsit code to develop it ,you needn't any network technology,but the more the better.because you have to mend it sometimes.if you know a little knowledge is useful.in a word ,it is a simple thing now.some host provider often do it for you..

Its pretty easy. There are plenty of free forum scripts which are easy to use like SMF, phpBB, myBB etc. You can use free hosting but will need to moved to a paid host when your forum grow.

I use freebb.com It has a nice board, but is simple. It is very functional if you are not looking for anything fancy. There are others out there, just google it. Good luck man!

Nowadays, its much easier to create a forums by using open source script / CMS for forums like VBulletin (lkie our forum), SMF, MyBB, etc. Choose what CMS is much easier to edit and use for you.
