forum setup

I'm starting up a forum on a school club's website and i recall someone saying that the template used here is quite common. could someone please post how to obtain this style and what is needed to set up a forum such as this one. thankx.

You could start by visiting the Invision Power Board.

IIRC the template that this forum uses is the default one which comes with IPB

thankx guys, but i was looking for a free one since its for a non-profit organization i'd be doing this for and they don't have a budget for this type of thing. a friend of mine just suggested phpBB, has anyone heard anything about this one?

Yes, I've seen some forums that use it however I don't recall ever being a member of a forum that used that as the forum software.

Sorry I didn't know Invision Power Board wasn't free.

Why haven't you gone down this avenue Tarun?

Or are there restrictions or something?
