I seem to recall that Infopoop, in their infinite wisdom, have made it against the rules of download to hack the code. Only going on what i've read on the vB support forum though - I gave up reading the UBB forums ages ago

Forums

There are some other forums, also.

http://beholder.net has a free forum you install on your own server, it is Perl-based, so is optimal for UNIX servers. However, lately, they've screwed up their main page, so it has Flash. And thus, I haven't been able to get into it for the past week

http://forum.snitz.com is, in my opinion better than the paid version of UBB, even. It is great in almost every way, except it's written in ASP, and thus wont' work on the majority of UNIX servers. I like Linux servers

http://www.quickchat.org and http://www.webmaster.com offer some, respectively.

OK, the forum is no problem anymore. How about a free (non irc)-chatbox?

then you can download all the hacks to make it better than the not-free version.

or if you have 'connections' like I do, you got the full versoin free. I DON'T USE IT. One, because I didn't buy it. Two, it sucks! vBulletin is better.

Although it does not have all of the features that the full version have, there is a freeware version of UBB available.

hmm, i though ubb had a free version, i downloaded it once.

anyways, i'll have to check these other ones out, maybe they're better than ubb.

Also I guess UBB wasn't mentioned because it's not free, and Jack wanted free boards

It isn't dead, just no one likes it anymore.
