There are lots and I remember when I was testing it back in the days
lots and I mean lots of hosting companies were pulling plugs on the
forums.  Especially freebie hosting were pulling the plug because
of that UBB and some others were highly recommended like Ikonboard.

I am impressed with their stuff and I am still surprised they are
free but comes with the price.  Must have mySQL or some sort of Database
on your Linux/NT machine.

I am at the new Yabb site and wondering, it looks a little different
it's not dark as the default one was or such.  I am trying to look
at the specs and nothing.  I'm under "What's New" and there's nothing.
Maybe there is nothing new. Same old...

Yup.. Yabb Gold 1 I don't recall hearing of Service Pack 1.  It sounds
so Micro$oft..
