hold on. i know that the ads make money for server maintenance and such.

but in my opinion, if it's free then there shouldn't be ads. i know how unreasonable it sounds.

so Invisionfree is great, but not free.

[call me strange, but i actually like the google ads. i've clicked on some intersting links on several occasions.]

Well, seeing as you do not pay anything to have your forum hosted (sure, there are premium services, but the basic [the word 'basic' being used lightly here, seeing as it is far from basic] service is totally free), it is free.

Having targeted advertisments doesn't make the service no longer become free. You would be extremely hard pressed to find a service like this, who serves as many people as we do and that does not have advertisments in some form or other.

Heh the ads are what makes it possible for you to own and operate a board free of charge. The ads are not a cost my friend they are vital.

invisionfree are ok but i would not say the best

invisionfree charges u to get a database if u want to move to ipb

now thats ok

but what i noticed that most free boards charge 5 dollars max

on invisionfree its starts at 15 and can go to any kinda money

also if u want them to install ur database its 30 dollars thats ok coz they do it for u

but if u have to install it urself

then 15+ is to much
