Hey guys , long story short , i am starting a new website and there is a forum function inside my page . Was wondering what would you guys recommend ?

So far i've heard good things about MyBB , phpBB , SMF

And for hosted, Proboards

What is the difference anyway ? Should i go for the hosted ones or just the free software ? Both are actually free .

phpBB is probably your most sensible bet from what I've heard. Amongst more informed forum lurkers, I'd say it is arguably considered to be the best platform out of the mentioned lot.

phpbb is the one I see commonly [and I've been on at least 50 different forums over a period of 8 years]
