I'm investigating Simple Machines Forum (smf).

It has a package management system that will allow you to install mods almost as easily as installing a program on your computer.

Site for it: http://www.simplemachines.org/

My test forum: http://commandoselite.com/demo/smf

hth,

IcI

no...they are hard to get into I think...

I was a moderator on their support forums.

That was when they only offered paid hosting.

I'd offer hosting at NerdHq.net but we are full at the moment.

Actually, I'd say Proboards is the easiest to customize lol. Then XMB, IPB, PHPBB, vB, and so on.
