If your looking for a forum that works with *nuke why not try XForum from http://trollix.com or maybe one of the phpbb forums that have been ported to nuke.

For the free boards, PHPBB is the best, plus version 2.0 has just been released. For the $ boards, no doubt, Vbulletin (the one used here) is the best.

few ways to optimize that -- archive older threads, purge older threads, kill old members who haven't posted in x months. Basically, you need to do some db management to get rid of the stuff that's weighing it down and making the load too high.

I'm currently running a forum on php/mysql... YaBB SE yabb.info...

Thankfully, the devs are awesome... they've actually helped me out with much of this, and I thought I've asked for too much ... they just (and i mean, a few minutes ago) went into my db and optimized it a bit for me...

and have ensured me that an optimized version will come out in the near future, so I'm very thankful for that too!

The problem with my forum is that it's db is 40mb and the querries drain loads of CPU...

so hopefully, this will change sometime soon...

you will want to avoid flatfile forums -- any of the various forums that use a db will be superior. best to check with the host on approved forums.
