Best Message Boards?

[VastFear]

Greetings-

I was curious what message boards people are using out there?

Looking for a decent one that is easy to setup but has all the goods.

Thanks!

PHPBB2 is pretty good. We use it on a couple of sites.

It's pretty good too You need a web host that supports php though.

Its handling of cookies and sessions is weird. Its reliance upon the
default template makes it a true nightmare to the novice who wants to
change the default scheme to something else.

It's also quite slow for a php based forum.

My recommendation is Invision Board. It's free to download and use
though it's a commercial product. Full featured, easy to modify and adapt.

I used both phpbb2 (and its Postnuke fork) and IB, and would recommend
Invision Board in a heartbeat.
