I want to add a forum to my website (local history/touristy type stuff) so that visitors can add content and do all the stuff that forums are good at. Something like the CUK one would be nice, but the traffic will be a lot less.
Can anyone recommend a good way of adding a forum? I was thinking of solutions like:
I don't expect much traffic initially, but it would be nice if it could be scaled up if it proves popular.
FYI, at the moment the site is hosted by Webfusion, who seem to have a v motley collection of scripts for guestbooks and a 1990s look and feel forum. I paid £120 for a years hosting with them back in Sept , but I'll move hosts if there's a good enough reason.

- Installable forum s/w that I can host on my websites hosting package. I know little of coding php etc. though, so it would need to be easy to set up.
- Buying some cheap hosting that already has a forum installed, and linking to it from websites' main URL
