Where to get free message boards

[djklas]

Hi everybody, The company that I work for is starting an online golf site and I thought a message board might be a good way to drive traffic. Can anyone reccomend some free message boards. hosting isn't a problem. I think our biggest concern would be ease of use and customization(i.e. Colors and logos).
The DHP board is great, but I need to bring 3 or 4 suggestions to the table.
Thanks!

Here's a perl one:

and it's PHP/MySQL port:

These are probably the closest to the DHP (UBB)

The ones I posted above are for Linux.

Here's a cool looking free one for Windows (I haven't tried this one) http://www.idealbb.com/

As always, review the licensing restrictions. I think you can get tech support or more features from some of these guys if you want to spend $.

Invision Power Board (http://www.invisionboard.com)

This one is free. No tech support if you use the free option but you can access invision discussion boards and ask questions of others who have installed/used the software.
