Offering my users a free forum? What software?

    I want to offer a 'free forum' to my visitors - hosted on my site, but without me needing to manually set anything up for them.

    Can anyone suggest a forum script or CMS that will let my visitors setup their own message board/forum on MY site?

    I found one, AND it works with MyBB (which I personally prefer over phpBB, SMF etc). AND unlike most of the other multiforum scripts out there, it's actually still alive. I haven't installed it yet, but it looks good :)

    Maybe you can suggest an SMF multi forum script for me to try?
    Did you even read the thread?

    Nope don't want to use blogs.

    Most of the multi forum scripts I've found have been abandoned.
