Recommend Forum Software

[aaronfude]

Hi,

I'm looking for a forum software package that has the following
features. Can someone recommend a good match or the closes thing?

1. Thread discussions.
2. No Perl (a personal allergy)
3. Free, at least to evaluate
4. Has some kind of an API to start a discussion programmatically or
with propietary forms.
5. Has a dedicated development team (i.e. won't become defunct soon)


Would also be good
a. Instant polls
b. Email notification system
c. A good interactive editor
d. Looks sharp

Thanks!

Aaron Fude

Does your webhost support the use of PHP and MySQL? If yes, then phpBB
might be a good choice.

www.whatforum.co.uk has a list of the usual suspects .

Threaded discussion forum apps are quite rare rare though .
