Will I made a forum on forumup.org, which was totally free and it's nice. Well It comes with ads on the site and people say to change Hosts. I don't really know alot about this stuff and Can I Keep this forum and change Hosts? If I so can I get rid of Ads? Someone please explain.

Most of those things you should be able to find in a FAQ on forumup.org I think...

They don't really have a FAQ :S I'm reading some other forums about it though not really helping though.

I read quite abit on some forums and you can transfer the forum to another host, but I don't know how. I also found out you can get rid of ads. Now does anyone know a good free hosting site? I need one for a while untill I get a better one.

Unless they release the forum db (which they won't) you won't be able to take posts and members from your free forum.

Try google, try forum software sites.

It's free but it comes with ads. Welcome to the internet!

lol - people have gotten the same free forum just like me, but some of the the smart ones changed Hosts and fixed that now they have no ads. I wanna change Hosts so I can do that, but I don't know how! :S

These people you speak of, yes, the ones that have done what you seek to do yourself. Ask them. :)
