Okay everyone knows how musicbanter looks like you know the way the site is laid out. But lately I've been seeing more and more forums set up like this....

heres an example:

Mobsters Forums - Powered by vBulletin

Is there a site or somethign that you can go to to make your own forum?

If so tell me i would like to make one...thanks

All vBulletin forums look pretty much the same don't they?

~~coryallen2~~ · 04-19-2009, 09:47 AM

Yes there is

Providing you have $180 for the software , $60 a year for the updates. Added to that the money you'll need for a domain name and webspace.

So knock yourself out

You can get free forums provided you have a server and database to run them on.

phpBB, for example, is free. Renting a domain and webspace is also quite cheap these days.
