Hey guys, i want to set up a forum like this for my school project of about 12 people. I looked around and couldn't find the link to the company who made this forum. Can anyone direct me to them?

I am just hoping to find like a free version of this, or something similar. So, if this does not work out, does anyone have any other suggestions?

Do a search in google. I think for this type of forum you gotta pay.

Well dude, I tried that already... you'll just end up with a bunch of random ass forums. That's why I'm posting it here, and maybe one of the mods here like Simon can help.

How about: "Thank you Mr. Rambo for offering a suggestion. I already tried google though, and I didn't mean to sound like an ungrateful asshole. Please forgive my ignorance."

But yeah man. I hope Simon can help you.

What are you getting all worked up about? And who's talking to you? If your post made you think you're funny, then I guess it served its purpose.

This is using vBulletin which isn't a free one.

If you have a host with PHP then http://www.phpbb.com/ is my favorite free one. As long as you download a good skin for it since the default one isn't that great.

If you don't have a host that you can use PHP with then you are pretty much out of luck if you want a good forum unless you can find really old versions of something. For a simple way to make a forum without needing PHP or your own host you can use http://invisionfree.com/ But the forums you can make are not that great since you are limited to skins and stuff. You also have ads on them.

Great! thanks man, that's what I needed

[Mr. Hyde]

Good luck on your project. Knock em' dead, Duke!

[Lou]

yeah whatever

Usually free forums always die out... You have to have a strong following for it to work..
