Hey peeps,
What is the best FREE php/My SQL based forum?

I have been looking at phpBB, BlazingBoard, and VBulletin.

What do you guys think??

Well vB isn't free, but it certainly is the best out there....

Other than that I've been keeping an eye on XMB (http://www.xmbforum.com)....

True, but you can't really use it, is more a VB test than a real forum script.
I prefer 10000 times phpbb over vb little.

wotlab's burning board is excellent, though there are some translation errors.

also take a look at openBB and www.mercuryboard.com

I'm biased, but phpBB is very good if you can't afford VBul. The v2.0 beta is coming along nicely.

I probably should have said I am on a Win2000 host. With Access database, asp, cgi, and php. ANy good forum for this? I looked at a few and they do not say requirments.

If you are looking for "free", go for Ikonboard. It should work on windows.

Hey dbzgod,

Does your Win 2000 host support ColdFusion? I have a friend who wrote a ColdFusion forum script, it's at http://www.mike-pulsifer.org/ as WMS Board 4.0, apparently a new one will be released soon making use of CF5.0. Any help?

Regards,
