Do you know a completely free personal web server I may use to host a forum/message board on?

Question

Also, can you tell me how to set it up so my forum will run properly?

What does Myspace has to do with anything? I'm not brand new to this, but all the web servers I found were crap.

Answer 1

Apache HTTP Server (http://apache.org) is the most popular Web server on the internet. If you're going to be hosting your own Web server Apache is the way to go, regardless of your hosting platform (i.e., Linux, Windows, etc). Once you've got Apache up and running you'll need to deploy forum/message board package (e.g., phpbb). This all relatively straight forward for anyone with a little Web development experience. If you're completely new to all this, check out this site called myspace.com...

Answer 2

Sign up for free web hosting with Geocities or other free hosting of your choice. Some of them offer forums already installed.

You can also get a free forum from Bravenet.com http://www.bravenet.com/webtools/forum/

They have a link there to free hosting sites and other tools for web pages that you might need.
