Hello everyone.

I am looking for a new, fresh, free experience. I do not want to use paid software, even if it is good. It's not because I don't love my website, it's because I really don't like what I've seen. You can get so much more out of free software (besides the support sometimes, the support on paid software is cool, but whatever)... anyway, if any of you have stumbled upon any new, kind of out there softwares, I'd love to hear about them. I don't want to use: phpBB, myBB, or SMF...

Thanks for the ideas. I will credit any poster of a new, fresh and simple discovery 50FP.

Not sure what I think about Vanilla, I still prefer the board layout, but Vanilla is about out there. Pun is a maybe, it looks pretty alright.

Will credit both of you your 50 now.
 
I would recommend researching different options, doing a test board of sorts, and finding out what one you like the most. That's just me though.
 
The reason "phpBB, myBB, or SMF" are so popular is because they are a quality product and millions of people feel comfortable using them. So maybe you should use one of those. 🙂

Near Forums looks reasonably good.

That looks like MyBB or SMF and phpBB2 combined. Not sure if I'd go for something like that. I think the layout looks more like MyBB and phpBB2 combined.
