i think phpbb and XMB are two of the best free php/mysql discussion boards out there...

any other discussion board that you find would probably have less features and popularity then those boards

g'luck tho

hmmm, weird... go to blazeboard's support forums...
then you'll see links to OpenBB - whatever that is... looks exactly like vBulletin to me

vBulleting must know about this right, but i think hey let them try it, they can have it look just like it but as long as they used a different code, it is legit

different code or not... isn't it copying vBulletin's original template?

hmm, this subject has been brought up at vBulletins forum, try a search if you're interested...

It's in German, so if you have the time to translate it into whatever language you're using it sure looks like a nice forum. I don't know if it's a copy of vbulletin, it sure looks like it.. But it's free. :D
