Free forum software.

Hiya guys, I'm the owner of my own little forum, however due to circumstances beyond my control, I'm no longer able to access it. Thankfully I'd downloaded my member list before losing the forum. I've managed to get my domain name which I'm going to put on a free forum. Can anyone recommend a good one which is easily customised. Thanks for reading.

Are two examples.

But please share some of the specs that are mandatory and desired for you to let us help you narrow down the search.

I used to have a IPB forum, it's only for a select group of friends to have an online getaway for banter and a laugh, nothing heavy.

Not bad software to be honest. I used this and found it ok for the most part.

Cheers guys, I'll take a look at it.

Can this be run alongside a website on the same hosts server or would there possibly be too much traffic and the host not be happy about it?

Asking because many cheap website hosting companies allow 2 or 3 websites on 1 account and perhaps "simplemachines" would count as a website

Are you thinking of upgrading PH?

No way, some traffic can be good, traffic jams are painful
