WorldCrossing.com - Forum Hosting Services

Want to add a forum or message board to your site? Looking for free hosting? World Crossing is a fast, easy, and free way to add forums, message boards or chat rooms to your Website. You can build an online community, draw repeat visits to your site, or create a forum for members of your organization, school, club or family. It's free for a basic user account. Advertising banners will be displayed within all forums but, by upgrading to a premium account, you can avoid the ads, eliminate the limits on posts per day, post your picture or avatar, and if you have your own forum, get extra administrator perks. There are two styles of forums available. Conversations are preferred for general discussions and encouraging active participation, while Threaded Messages are best for "question and answer" message boards. You can register online and have your forum running within a few minutes. You can choose from public or private forums or open a chat room for your forum so members can communicate instantly in real time. All members get a personal e-mail box for sending and receiving mail. You can also customize your forum to match the look and feel of your own Web site. Invite as many people as you like. Your forum can hold any number of discussions and messages. Counts of page views and posts let you track the amount of activity in your forum.
