Silkroad Online Forums

I am looking for a forum host which has chat box too and easyly custumizable such as changing top and bottom header, background picture.

Please advise me a FREE host without annoying advertisements.

I am looking something like Silkroad Salvations forum page.

Found this one so far but i couldnt understand if it has a chatbox or not:

http://jcink.com/index.php

For a host, go to https://x10hosting.com/
They are free and last I remember, they have pretty fast services and good sized storage space.
As for forum templates, phpbb is what SRF uses. There are others, but I prefer phpbb because it's simple and is pretty common which makes trouble shooting and customization a breeze.

TY for your reply.

Well.. Tell you the truth i dont know anything about coding and dont want to deal with them either.
I dont want any custom domain name either. I just want a forum not a site with forum.

There are sites which gives only forum environment, I am looking for one of them but free one.

invision free?

U ment invasion ?

If you mean that i want to build a guild forum for a game (not sro).
It will be closed forum (only approved people should be able to read and post)

You don't need to know ANY coding to run a phpbb forum. Follow the steps. Extract files, upload via ftp etc. Nothing to it. phpbb is JUST a forum, not a site. You have to use a sub domain in your URL for any free hosting, or you have to pay for a domain.

Easier said than done considering he has no experience.

+1 i am not good at these at all and I don't want to have a learning phaze.

I checked that site's features but chatbox/shoutbox is not mentioned there. Besides I started to build it on http://jcink.com/index.php

BTW thanks everyone who replied

I will show a SS of the forum when I am done. As I am making a private forum, I can't give you a link to check

yes and no. I had 0 experience the first time I made a forum and all I did was google phpbb and free hosting and I got simple info. The steps are literally setup account on free hosting(i used x10), upload files(easiest with ftp client(free)), create database(click the option to), go to your homepage(webpage, not the hosting control panel), setup config. Done. The instructions are new user friendly so someone with 0 experience can do it with no problem. The best way to learn is do it yourself, which in this case a premade forum engine and a hosting service that provides mysql db services makes it super easy.
