sparklit is even better than simple designforum, which i find the easier of godaddy's panopoly of forum ware.
vbulletin for a newby? stop taunting him.
ebrdomains, goto sparklit and signup. The forum have great working features, one touch install, 9write in the domainnname) easy user admin features, a sparklit directory listing, instabutton themes changes, css editing quick quick heya, and tone color editing you can see instantly without permanent commitments or code snafus.
very simple ease of use, absolutely always login integrity.
simple design simple machiene forum next best.
but godaddy puts sponsor button in free hosted or credit hosted forum apps.
be well
