Re: Forum Software

I prefer WWWThreads - it's not free - but it's much cheaper than 
UBB.  There is also a free version, but it's not as feature 
rich.  http://www.wwwthreads.com .

You can also go to David Wooley's most excellent site and check out just 
about any board/forum system available - 
http://www.thinkofit.com/webconf/index.htm and find out about free, small 
personal and large commercial systems on any platform and using any number 
of technologies.

Good luck!
