I had a forum hosted through freeforums.org, it was free and had no ads which was nice. It also had a few mods to choose from which was also pretty cool. Basically on paper, this host looked really good. I wasn't looking for much, just a free PHPBB forum host for a member base of about 15 people with no ads.
It turns out, the experience was awful. Since I joined in June I had countless numbers of white screens, errors saying the server was being transferred, and to top it all off the server crashed and everything beyond June 30th was lost. I was furious and decided to shut down the forum and move elsewhere. I wrote an email telling them about my experience. Well, they didn't respond which is typical. Because of their lack of interest in customer's thoughts I'm telling you all about this. In other words, just DON'T use freeforums.org, they're the worst host I've ever used an d they don't give a crap about their members.
I ended up going to IPBfree.com which is Invision Power Board based and it's awesome! It does have ads, but it's well worth it since it's stable and has lots of features.
