The detailed evaluating of common free forum on network
There are many free forum hosting forums at the present time . They're very popular on internet ,like: www.invisionfree.com, www.makeforum.org, www.forumgogo.com, www.atfreeforum.com, www.freepowerboards.com, and www.yy2.com. Here I choose three forums from them to have a compare .To find out the differences among them .

From the table above ,you can see the advantages and the disadvantage of those forums.
www.invisionfree.com ,this forum is old and popular at present ,powered by phpBB .its used by many people .the run rate is quick and have the Admin Notepad at the Admin Control Panel .But the function is not many compared with forumgogo forum .
www.forumgogo.com ,it's new and offers free forums too ,powered by forumgogo .The rate of this forum is quick ,and the impression of my first view of this forum is clean and comfortable .Using this forum ,you will find out that it's really a great one .It has many functions like Announcement , Online users' icon , Board Links and much more funcitons that others don't have .Because its a new forum ,so maybe something is not very perfect like some small bugs.
www.freepowerboards.com ,its also like the invisionfreeforum ,but the run rate of it is not very quick and also have little function than invisionfree and forumgogo forum .
