I dont believe that there is an actual way to get a free domain, unless you are providing them something of a payment or service in return. I personally recommend GoDaddy which are offering domains at just $1.99 which is practically free. :wink:

Those dont actually provide a domain, just an actual free redirection service and dont actual change the URL of your links from the default s#.invisionfree.com which is of course what you want. Perhaps you should stick around with TSL for the time being as we will be offering free 2 year domains as a prize for some of our contests and such.

Yeah I looked up a lot of free domains and none of them really look trustworthy, or free. Or even good for that matter.

You really should just stick around here like Mike said.

Domains aren't all important in making a good board. IFDU got to 1000+ members before a dot com, if I remember correctly.

Then shove it down their throat. Make sure they remember it. Resort to shameless advertising, if you must. Put the link everywhere you can.

I got a free host that provides free sub-domains. A simple single page of HTML with some buttons, and I've got an easy to remember URL to recite/write down :icon14: No more problem, and no cost. No unwanted ads, either!
