Hello, does anyone know of any free forums out there that I can include in my website. Meaning just like "The Webmaster Forums" has it's own forum, I would like to have my own forum specific to my website, that only members of a club of mine can access.
I saw some free forum software on the web available for download, but that was several years ago and I have since lost touch.
Can someone help me out here?

Go to Draob.com if you don't have the programming skill to install one and want a free one.

You could also opt for a remotley hosted board to save you the ftp hassle. An Excoboard is a good choice, great support forums and fully customizable.
