interesting that this came up.  i just set up a forum on my site that uses
mysql and php. the website for the board i'm using is
http://www.invisionboard.com/

it was extremely simple to set up and easy to administer as well.  i'd
rather not spam my site but if you just want to see how the board looks
just add /forums to my domain.
