If they don't allow any server-side scripting language you're toast. You'll need one to use a forum. Some hosts will only allow Perl/CGI and with that you could run a forum. But I don't know of any good CGI forums. I'd move to a better host.

What is included in the hosting? Do you have php, cgi or asp at all? There the only languages I can see that you could run a forum with..

Usually the only forums I use are the gamers.com forums. They are alright I guess

how 'bout the forum in ASP?

to make most PHP Message boards or all message boards that is they need to have a MYSQL Database component witch needs to be on a server that supports MYSQL.
