Ok, I've been constantly thriving to find cool new things for my forum members to use, to make their experience so much better.  Some of the stuff I've found was just crap.  Others were keepers.

Here's a short list of some of the stuff I've found and costs nothing.  Hopefully you'll share yours as well.

1.) SMF forum.  We all should know about this one.  But this piece of code really works and makes creating a forum as simple as eating pie.  And unlike other free forum software, you can install many mods with a touch of a button.  No script editing required!

2.) Wibya Bar.  It's a nice little bar which gives your users a some more options when visiting your forum.  You can have the latest posts show up, have a small chat room and even an arcade.  To see it implemented on a forum, check out my site: http://MyPalmtop.Info.  I've used plenty of bars, some custom for SMF and some pay-for ones.  Wibya is the best in my opinion.

3.) Google AdSense.  What better is there of generating money through your site?  AdSense is free and requires a Google Account.  There are tons of tips out there as well as scams so be careful!

4.) Pay Per Clicks.  Another way to earn a little extra money off of your website.  I've used "Linkbucks" and like them.  You'll need many clicks to make any money though, and members can get annoyed if they have to click on a link which takes them to the website your sharing.  So use it in moderation.
