I'm mucking around with setting up a .net Forum on my blog. Last night, I cobbled together a solution using a third-party tool called Nabble. It appealed because it integrates well with Blogger, and because I didn't have to arrange a third-party web host for the associated database. I've also worked with YetAnotherForum in the past, which is also pretty good, and open to customisation since it's open source and based on the .net framework. However, you have to arrange your own webspace for the web app and database.
Nabble seems to be a pretty good basic solution, although I've noted that after a free period of 28 days they begin to show adverts to pay for the service (with a fee of something like $125 to keep it advert-free for up to 1m views, which isn't bad).
Are there any alternative free offerings I should be looking at?
