With a whopping 50GB of free storage space, ADrive.com claims to be the world’s biggest free online data storage solution. I have to say, with that disk space limit they will be getting a lot of eyeballs headed over to them, that much is for sure.

All you have to do to get started is register for your free account, upload your content and then you can gain access to these files anywhere you have an Internet connection. You can avoid the hassle and trouble of running out of disk space on your hard drive - and eliminate the external storage devices.

You can stop worrying about your files being lost because of computer issues such as it kicking the bucket or being infected by something nasty. The ability to access any file at anytime, anywhere is also a perk that can not be overlooked.

Some of their insight on the technology they are using is pretty interesting too. ADrive operates using industry-leading enterprise level data storage, networking and server technology to safely store and access your files.

They promise in the future to have bigger plans with more than 50GB - that will also come with a price tag. A desktop client and file sharing is also “in the works”. One future feature that looks promising is the personalized snapshots. They promise to retrieve older versions of your files using snapshot technology. You’ll be able to schedule your own snapshots to backup and protect your stored data.

Before you can have a great community, you need a great place for that community to live. That is where online forums and message boards come into play. There are a lot of great options out there, so here are a few to get you started.

MyBB (demo) - One forums script that is getting a lot of press for ease of use and easy of install is MyBB. With an active team of developers and the free price tag it is a selection that can not be overlooked.

Simple Machines Forum (demo) - Popular and free, SMF seems to be gaining a lot of ground. It is designed to provide you with all the features you need from a bulletin board while having an absolute minimal impact on the resources of the server.

phpBB (demo) - Since its creation in 2000, phpBB continues to be a leader. They do have a shady past with security issues, but hopefully they have gotten past all of that.

Vbulletin (demo) - One of the more popular solutions out there today, Vbulletin also has time on its side as well. Might want to check out their order form before giving it a shot though to make sure you want to pay for what your getting.

Vanilla (demo) - If you want something different, then Vanilla might be the way to go. It is an open-source, standards-compliant, multi-lingual, fully extensible discussion forum for the Web.

As you can see there are a lot of choices to go when it comes to message board or forum software. Which is your favorite? If I missed one of your favorites let me know.
