Personally, I've never tried one of the "Download the software and upload to your webspace" forums - I go for the ones that are already built, you just ake it how you want - and I use http://invisionfree.com for mine - it's free. There's also http://invisionpower.com which is the paid version with more features.
do you have any idea how to create forum like vBulletin kind. an example is at http://forum.am-portal.net/index.php?
or how bout a forum like this kind which we are using now? It's got hundreds of cool skins/modules/add-on stuff that you can plug into your board to give it even more functionality  I'd say try SMF for a starter... Here's a list of demonstration forums: 1. http://support.simplemachines.org/demo/index.php 2. http://www.forum500.com/ 3. http://www.babylonking.net/smf/ 4. If you're interested in seeing how Invision Board is skinnable - check out: 1. www.antilost.com/community

At it's current release it has come upto almost it's commercial counterparts - though it still lacks in many respects... But SMF is free and easy to setup. From Fantastico in cPanel it's a one-click job. Give it a try - or see it in action... http://www.simplemachines.org It's got hundreds of cool skins/modules/add-on stuff that you can plug into your board to give it even more functionality I'd say try SMF for a starter...  u really clear my doubts man. i go try the smf since its FREE lol. does invision and vBulletin charge user? anyway to get them for free? QUOTE(warriors @ May 9 2005, 11:42 PM) u really clear my doubts man. i go try the smf since its FREE lol. does invision and vBulletin charge user? anyway to get them for free? Lol.. not that I know of - InvisionFree is still Free but it's in almost stone ages compared to the recent advances in Forum Systems. vBulletin and Invision Power are both fully commercial.. The only way to grab these is from someone who's got a registered copy and is willing to share it with you (okay - I didn't give u this advice  ) Otherwise, SMF is your best bet. Ooo.. another one I completely forgot to mention is phpBB - even that's free and can be downloaded from http://www.phpbb.com/ .. Only problem with this is it's got some well known security issues as well as doesn't support multiple levels of subforums like IPB/vBulletin/SMF. You can have forums only one level deep in this one...Give it a shot - I'd say try out both SMF and phpBB parallely and see which one you can operate easier and feel more at home with.. Good luck 
so what u mean is that vBulletin can be downloaded from the internet and use so long as i can find the serial just like the way we crack software rite lol?
