Hi Superjugy,
Do you have access to SSH, or at least a control panel in which to setup a database for the forum to work off of?

i'm pretty sure angelfire doesn't allow php scripts so you can't have your own forum there. go with a remotely hosted one or get a paid host...

I don't know of any forums that dont require what agelfire cant offer. If you dont like ezboards, there is always proboards.com ;)

Superjugy, it's time to get a real host if you want to "Install" any kind of database board.
SSH is a secure protocal command line procedure that allows the creation of database, setting permission etc, core system stuff, but there are many control panels that have a user interface to help you do things at your user level permission level.
From CPanel (My favorite), to Ensim, these applications offered by hosting companies allow you "The end user" to point and click with an intuitive interface making it easy to install databases, populate tables etc.
There are free scripts out there www.phpbb.com
You simply need to download it, upload it, and run the install, this is IF you have databases you can use with your host.
How old are you if I may ask, and what is the purpose of your site?
