I looked at the website and it does appear to actually host free forums. Do these forums have advertisements on them though? What is SMF as in "SMF powered Forum"?

Hosted forum's do have one advertisment banner near the top of the forum.
You can purchase ad-free credits as well if you wish not to have any advertisments.

SMF is a powerful forum system form simplemachines.org. At SMF For Free I take care of all the grunt work keeping your site online and upgrading the system.

Nice looking forums. I see you can also change the themes of them. Can you make custom themes? How does SMF compare to phpBB or Vbulletin?

VBulletin is the best paid software but can't do a forum host unless I buy a license for each forum. SMF for me is the best free forum software.

You can customize the default theme with style sheets and headers and footers.

If you are looking for full customized theme boards you can try out my other service at http://www.createmybb.com

SMF is a nice software. I use it on one of my forums www.bestforumer.com.

It stands for simple machines forum and its a little complicate in my oppinion.
I mean the most of the people go to vbulletin or IPB forums so an SMF is rather complicated to first timers. It happened with all my members.
