Simple Machines Forum — SMF in short — is a free, professional grade software package that allows you to set up your own online community within minutes.
Its powerful custom made template engine puts you in full control of the lay-out of your message board and with our unique SSI - or Server Side Includes - function you can let your forum and your website interact with each other.
SMF is written in the popular language PHP and uses a MySQL database. It is designed to provide you with all the features you need from a bulletin board while having an absolute minimal impact on the resources of the server. SMF is the next generation of forum software - and best of all it is and will always remain completely free!
SMF is the best free forum script in our opinion.
Script Install 4 Free has a video tutorial on how to install SMF v1.1 on your shared hosting web space via FTP upload. The current latest version of SMF is 1.1.4 and the instructions still hold good. The official instructions page that the screencast refers to is http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?topic=5.
