ethergeek 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2007 My site uses Phpbb3-B5 for it's forums section...it's a vast improvement over Phpbb2.x. And of course, free to download, open source and all that good stuff.You can play with a few free forums at http://www.opensourcecms.com/ which lets you try the live demos of the forum packages (including admin functions).
