I am curious...
Does your clan (Whether you are the host of, or member of) have a Board?
Do you want it to have a board (If it doesn't)?
Do you know how to make a board?
What host do you prefer to use (if yes to the above)?

Absolutly. Let's you post your how to guides without dealing with all those "EXPLOIT, EXPLOIT, WHERE ARE THE DEVS, EXPLOIT CHEATERS, WA WA WA WA WA" players.
Yes I do its my Homepage.

I have a new motto! It makes me Lulz!
Ehem...!
'You sir, FAIL'.
Its been used a million times, but its mine nao!
We have one on it's own seperate site, but I never go to it. I think they are trying to avoid spys, etc.
If I wanted my Alliance to have a board I could easily make one.
Having your own board is one of the best things possible, it allows you to easily communicate back and forth with one an another and its a great way to stay organized.
My Partner and Me with a few designing company's run through SiteGround and we payed for a 2 year package and 3 addons domains and unlimited everything besides inode's. I know that's more than what you will need but they do offer smaller things. But in the end it all depends on what you wanna do. Any forum system requires at least 1 Mysql database so if your looking around for a free hosting site make sure they offer a mysql database first.
Now about which bored to use. That's all boils down to 2 things.
What do you like?
What are you familar with.
- Nuke CMS
I wouldnt suggest trying any Nuke CMS untill you're fairly familar with web related stuff and it takes alot of server resources to run.- PHPBB3
It's an amazing bored, I run 2 of them and designed a custom theme for one. Simple and has ALOT of nice and easy features but if your more familiar with phpbb2 it might take some time to adjust to 3.- PHPBB2
Is simple, an excellent choice, great support and free.- vBulletin
One of the best I have used very clean with alot of options.. and I mean alot.
If you happen to get your hands on it USE IT.- SMF (Simple Machine Forums)
Is also a good one easy package installation for mods- IPB
Couldn't tell you much on this one as I haven't used it yet but I have seen a few decent boards running it.

Involution Media
We use evolliance.com, it's got a lot of cool features (most notably the interactive map that let's you see an entire state) on it aside from just message board.
Need a private forum for your alliance?
We'll provide your alliance with a forum, alliance chatroom, officer's chatroom, message system, polls, tools, roles, & much more!
http://www.evolliance.com
considering i work with almost everyone in my alliance we don't need a forum :P we just go out back to smoke and chat evony lol
if i was to make a forum though i rather like vbulletin though it's not free (i have a pirated copy though) phpbb is free and a good 2nd choice
i like to integrate the forums (whichever i choose) into joomla and make a portal website dealio in addition to forums.
x10hosting.com offers free reliable hosting that has cpanel and 2 databases (1 for the forums and 1 for joomla) don't ask me how it's free, there's no ads or anything...
Our clan has one, not used very much.
