I had a small, fast, really easy to use flat-file forum running on my computer once, can't remeber what it was called, does the job, not too well though... I'll try dig it up for ya.

Txt based forum without the need for mysql..

Flat file database forums require too many server resources. You will not find many examples of this sort of forum.

You could examine a commenting system (like for blogs), but registration wouldn't be included in those.

For the most part, to use registration, a database is preferred.

Thanks for the links, but all of these need MySQL, which is the problem that I have!

You know the message board that you can use with frontpage extensions? I'm looking for something as basic as that but you need to reqister with a valid email address. Cheers.

The PbLang that i have now is a good forum but i just want a simpler one for my not-so-computer-literate friends. Where its clear where you have to register, post new topics, reply etc.
