Well you can create a free forum at [www.ezboard.com](http://www.ezboard.com) (rumor has it, this forum used to be on there, ok so it is true, but I wasnāt around then)
And yes it is possible in Flashā¦ just check out this linkā¦

Well that is a definite plus š
I believe [http://www.phpbb.com/](http://www.phpbb.com/) is free. Not sure though.
Oh yeah, you also may need to have mySQL and PHP installed on your server. Definitely PHP, not sure about mySQL but it is highly likely.

I believe that phpbb only requires you to leave the copywrite notice at the bottom of the page. It is a link to their site.
I donāt use it, but I do believe that it is all they ask for. You host the board on your own server, so I donāt think they have the ads. They would have the ads if they hosted it on their servers, because they would need a way to pay for the space your taking up.

Take a look at my custom PhP Forums.
[http://ultarius.com/AoS/phpBB2/](http://ultarius.com/AoS/phpBB2/)
There are no adds.
Only thing there is , is a tiny tiny link all way on bottom. Its in plain text. These are probably the best type of forums to go with . Highly customizable and they just fun to use.
If your determined to get a flash forums, good luck. I would not have the first clue where to start. hehe

You can download styles or create your ownā¦
[http://www.phpbb.com/styles/](http://www.phpbb.com/styles/)
If you go there, clicking on documentation will teach you how to make your own Or you can click on downloads or demos, etc.
Hope this helps:)
\EDIT: \ Maybe I should have entered the section first instead of just reading the description.
" Documentation
Read this guide to learn how to create your own styles."
But apparently just the graphics part is up for nowā¦

[http://www.mysql.com/](http://www.mysql.com/)
[http://www.php.net](http://www.php.net)
You can download them there. They should come with documentation to tell you how to install them on your server.

Are you the administrator of your server? I believe you have to admin to install stuff on it.
If you are, and it is still not working, I donāt know what to tell you, I already had PHP and mySQL installed on my server when I moved in.
