don worry ill let other countries join it but it mainly for people in the uk so i dont get post of thing that can be pursed in other countries but not ares if you get my drift. I plan it to be a friendly forum that we can have a laugh and admire others work And maybe have a night were we can all join each other on something like battlefield 2. Id also like to have something like a comuntity mod that we could auction off for charity.

1) Get some free hosting.
2) Get DNS if you need it.
3) Download a copy of MyBB (or any other board).
4) Install it.
5) Enjoy.

If you need more in-depth help, or want me to do it for you, send me a PM. :)

It stands for My Bulletin Board. Basicly a free, open source Message Board system.

I will help you out on this I can provide hosting, forums (vBulletin), a sub-domain free (unless you want to buy a domain). Give me a shout if you want some help.

As I said it will be all free as I am a generous person.

Actually, they'll look a lot like this forum. It's powered by vBulletin. But, here's vBulletin's web site: http://www.vbulletin.com/

+rep to Gaz for the free hosting offer.

Depends what you would like - there are lots of free skins to download and use for vBulletin forums. Tell me today if you would like to take this offer and I will open the sub-domain and the MySQL Database for it.
