Yeh I think it's much simpler to use than other forum software. And the design is simply stunning even the default one.

Like Dani said, it's all about the branding, if you have a selection your just going to confuse the consumer, seriously when people are marketed to they need a consistent style of branding and anyway unless you have good reasons to allow multiple templates then it makes the community look …

I suppose you could charge for a unique service which no other place provides. But apart from that I wouldn't really reccomend it, what about asking people to donate money? you could use paypal as a donation system.

Their are many free forum hosts out their but you have to ask yourself these questions: 1). Do you want to move to your own server in the future? If yes it may be cheaper to start of with a small hosting package or make sure that your free hoster …
