And with that -- I'll close this.

I don't know what the urge is to comment on really old threads, but I surely wish people would just cut it out. Maybe there is a "close after 3 months of no postings" option somewhere in here... *grumble*

It isn't new today, but it probably was back in April of 2000. Ah, the joys of reviving old threads.

vBulletin isn't new or free. It's i think, $85 USD a year and $160 USD for lifetime

(just a note...vBulletin is by no means new...do some research)

http://www.phpbb.com is worth checking out as well

There is a new forum that is far better than the UBB as far as I am concerned. It runs PHP/ MYSQL and is the best out there that I have seen. I have a large UBB and am considering the change to it myself.

I almost forgot the URL:
http://www.vbulletin.com

The scripts for this forum are available for free, and you are free to alter the code as you want. In fact the UBB website provides a 'ubb hacks' forum for learning to do just that. The code is a mess though (in the freeware version at least) and youll have to spend some time formatting it if you wanna make any sense out of it.

This is assuming you know perl, if not you may have to settle with a free board, or pay someone to write one for you.

heres a good free one that i use sometimes http://www.cyboards.com/ . They host it for you and its not perl, its server side Java and SQL, its very fast and there are a ton of admin options.

You can see it in action here http://boards.xrgaming.net/cgi/cob/discboard.cgi?view (This site actually uses the perl version, which is available free also)
