Simple Machines Forum is one of the best popular bulletin board systems on the web.
The most popular bulletin board is phpBB, and we will host that forum as well, but we don't recommend it, as it seems like every time a new version of phpBB comes out, a new hack is published within 2-3 days, and the forum owners are up to their elbows trying to keep control of their forum.
A bulletin board is the single greatest addition you can make to a static website to keep users returning. It provides an opportunity for your users to talk to each other - and unlike a blog, you don't constantly have to be providing topics for them to discuss; they'll bring up their own topics.
You may install SMF with just a few clicks using Fantastico. It requires one MySQL database. Sometimes, Fantastico is a release behind on software; feel free to ask us to do a manual install of the latest SMF for you, at no extra charge.
