Hi Luc-key,
Go to http://www.boonex.com/products/dolphin/
It is one of the most modern community builders that I've run into and is pretty easy to install.
The other great thing about it is it's free.
Have a good one.
Sincerely,
Perm-A-newb

By message board are you meaning forum?

Such as the talk-mania site..

If you are!

Then look no further than PHPBB, Since its creation in 2000, phpBB has become the most widely used Open Source forum solution. Like its predecessors, phpBB 3.0 “Olympus” has an easy to use administration panel and a user friendly installation process, which allows you to have a forum set up in minutes.

With a large and highly customisable set of key features coupled with a standards compliant interface, phpBB will grow with, and compliment your website. With millions of installations worldwide, it is no wonder phpBB is one of the most popular ways to create and support a community.


So if its a forum your after PHPBB, is the best.

You could try searching on google for mybb, punbb, phpbb3 or go to hotscripts cause theres plenty of styles and versions that youd like

[FallenSage2007]

If you want something like Talk Mania go with MyBB. It's probably the closest forum to Vbulletin.

IPB ftw, but it cost you money... VBulittin is good too (also for moeny...) but there are free versions for those.

PHPBB has a lot of security issues, SMF/IPB/vBulletin is safer.
