Looking to make a site
I was looking for a site to make it OR a program, thus I put it into offtopic

Does anyone know a program/site (that costs little or is preferably, free) that lets me make a pretty good forum?

Thanks

you need a site with a database
almost any site you get will have a control panel, it will have a GUI/point click way to setup a forum

...program?

phpbb. You need to host it, though.

Try invisionfree.com (no hosting required)

Assuming you have apache with php mod, then you can write pretty much anything and everything in any text editor.
I recommend vi or vim.

Im looking at invisionfree, but problem is that you cant save your data

The layout for making the site is very friendly, but I cant seem to find any other program that is as powerful and as easy to use as this
Anyone have an idea? Thanks
