A good forum host

I'm interested in creating a forum in the future for the game I'm developing (www.imperiumonline.com), but I was wondering if someone could suggest a good forum hosting service (the cheaper the better, of course).

Thanks.

I'd reccomend installing a forum package on your own web server, actually. Which one depends on what kind of system you're using and what's available (PERL, PHP, ASP, etc.).

Personally, I use the ASP-based Snitz forums. Pretty good features, and free. A lot of people seem to like phpBB.

YaBB is another good one.

On your own server would be best, but if that's not an option, you can try EZBoard. They have a free service if you don't mind popup ads, or the fee is fairly low if you don't have much traffic.
