Yes i have looked at the thread at the top so dont tell me too please. I used to use upperboard but they really sucked and i really disliked them. Now i use this site called http://www.solidforums.0hx.com/ i used them for a while now but still not satisfied with what they got. I cant script so i guess im stuck with remotely hosted ones. Now my question to you kind people is: Is there a board that host boards like those ex. Invisionboard, php, xmb, or whatever but they have to be remotely hosted sevices. So basically host that use this scripts and hosts them for you already made.

You don't need to know any scripting to install a message board. You just follow the directions they give you, and your board is set up. It's very easy, almost as simple as setting up a remotely hosted board.

http://www.proboards.com/ - YaBB
http://myib.ikonboard.com/ - Ikonboard: looks almost exactly like IBForums
http://www.xsorbit.com/ - YaBB
http://www.dk3.com/ - phpBB

I think IBForums is also setting up a remotely hosted alternative.

I think yaBB is a good BB. And suddenlunch is very good as a free remotely hosted yaBB. I have one BB hosted by suddenlunch and am very satisfied.

MyIkonboard is good also, but little bit slower from here.

Solidforums.0hx.com is really unstabble. I think they are in developing process.

bbboy.net also good.

What exactly do you want? ;)

Well i might be asking for much but basically what it comes down to are these things:
-Remotely hosted
-Reliable
-Few ads i would prefer banner ads than pop ups
-They should look good like a invisionboard, xmb board you know like scripted boards without the scripting
-No yabb i had to many problems with those
-Complete or close to complete customization

Thats all........:rolleyes:

so, you have to wait for www.myibf.com

anyway, what about myIkonboard suggested by concermaniac? They have a good layout, too.

Or, you can install Invisionboard by yourself without any scripting skills because the have already provide all the script for you for free.

If you heard lots of bad things about MyIB, I can guarantee that you'll hear just as many bad things about MyIBf. ;)

I was considering remotely hosted forums but based on discussions here I have uploaded both phpbb2 and invisionboard to my account at tripod.co.uk. Both are easy to install (10-15 minutes), phpbb2 is a bit easier to install. Both are easy to learn. Invisionboard is more complex to admin than phpbb2 but blows it away with its admin options. Invisionboard!:D
Much better than ad-sponsored remote forums.
:D

Tripod.co.uk will die if you people continue abusing it. BTW, once they implement ads on their PHP pages, it'll be much worse than the remote hosts. They have a Javascript ad, and a pop-up.
