I was planning to create a forum, primarily consisting of news, my country's current affairs, politics and all that stuff.
Since I'm starting this alone, and I can't vouch for the response (I'm not interested in making money from this, but at the same time I don't wish to end up emptying my pockets!) I didn't want to invest in stuff like software, server hosting etc so I had been looking for freebie stuff.
The problem is that I know tons of freebie sites ready to host a forum like this, but it would be quite taxing to test their functioning one by one plus it wouldn't seem professional if I keep changing the discussions from one forum to another either...
My first preference was vbulletin but apparently one has to pay for it now? I was sure that it was free some time ago? Correct me if I'm mistaken...
Anyway please post any suggestions you might be having for my idea. I'm much grateful!
