SMF for free?

[Frizza]

Is this just a new version of SMF? Or it's been here for a long time. I was just wondering.
It's called "SMF for free"
And here's some proof.  Link: http://www.smfforfree.com/

That is a SMF hosting. It doesnt give you all features you have when you use a "real" hosting, but it may be a godd start for newbies.

Note that SMFforfree isn't run by Simplemachines

[Frizza]

Then what is it run by?

[Kenny01]

I would't advice even newbies to use it because they don't have access to there data and it's full of ads.

[Frizza]

it's full of ads.

I know! Some of the ads just pop out of the screen at times.

Well it is powered by SMF however what I mean is that SimpleMachines don't run the smfforfree site . It is run by vbgamer45

SMFForFree is a service that provides free hosted SMF-powered forums for people. It's a lot like other popular services such as ProBoards.

Of course, SMF itself is free, so you can just install it on your own webhost, but some people don't have even that.

We cannot provide support for the service here as we are not affiliated with it. They just simply use our software.

it is run by vbgamer I believe.

With simplemachines forum software you need to get a host in order to setup the software. The software uses PHP and MySQL you can check the hosts and hosting board for some onptions

The theme we use here isn't available for downloading.

Changing the look of your forum on smfforfree is a bit different than it is for a regular SMF forum, so I suggest checking out www.smfsupport.com for more info.

We never had to download anything.
But we can signup for a free forum hosted by simplemachines?
That's what your telling us or not?

[vbgamer45]

Simplemachines.org does not host forums but provides and creates the software for the forum which you can use to host on your website.
