Have you ever though of using another program other than forumotion? Such as MyBB, XenForo, IPB, ect. Each one has its ups and downs, With MyBB you can make your site completely free as well, without ads. But you do not have the simplicity that forumotion has. XenForo is the perfect program, but costs $140.

Have you ever though, or already using another program other than forumotion?

Its not another program , its called another software

And i used alot of other softwares , i love them too

I never used another platforms, even if I'm a master in coding. But if I'm deciding to leave forumotion I will choose MyBB, or maybe phpBB3 or IPB, but not sure if I will leave forumotion soon.

Not phpBB, I do not recommend phpBB at all unless its forumotion. MyBB would be the best way to go. For paid, I'd recommend XenForo over IPB honestly.

I'm 14 years old only, I do not have money to pay, so need something free but what allow you to add HTML, CSS & JavaScript codes.

MyBB, and the FTP program will allow you too add anything you want to your site such as html, css, javascript, plain text, other software, ect. It is your forum, you can add what ever you wish to.

Well I have tried other forum services but they are not very user friendly or as customizable as Forumotion is.
I tried Forumbuild,MyfreeForum.ORG but did not really like them.

The problem is that a lot of services like Free Forums.Org,Forumbuild and others are using the real Phpbb settings.
If you have every tried the demo of Phpbb as I have,you will know that the REAL Phpbb is actually very difficult to use.

I have Phpbb2 as my FM forum but the difference is that. Forumotion uses Phpbb,Invision,Punbb skins but the admin panel settings are Forumotions own, not the real phpbb admin panel.

Which is why Forumotion is very easy to use,even for someone with limited experience such as me.
Also Forumotion forums have a lot more customization options than a lot of other forum services do. On FM you can customise most things about your forum add,new profile fields etc,change the background color and make it your own. Though you can't with a lot of other forums.

I also tried Proboards but hated it.Not only do you and your other members have to fill in captcha.In addition to that you have to fill in an activation key code. Which a lot of users won't want to do. Also Proboards has very limited options.

I tried OO1 Webhost a free webhosting service but gave up after 10 minutes because I could not figure out how to use it. Forumotion is one of the best forum services I think. I have not found anything better than.
