Probably the world’s most popular free web forum provider
Forumer.com is probably the world’s most popular free web forum provider. Established in 2003, as at the time of writing, it claims to host a whopping 151,212 forums, 8.5 million total users / members, more than 30 million threads, and an amazing 120 million posts.
The forum software used is phpBB and IPB.
It was formerly known as FreeIB, but was bought over in 2004: new programmers hired, site redesigned and relaunched under its present name. Judging by growth in the number of new members, its popularity then enjoyed a huge 3000% surge till today.
Ad supported, it will remove the ads for USD5 per 30K pageviews.
It used to have a blog hosting service too but that’s closed to new members for at the moment.
One of the forums hosted there is the very useful Malaysia-based Renovation Talk. It is testament to the popularity of the forum that some users who joined a mere 6 months ago already made more than 20,000 posts.
