This is a great script. Really easy to install even for me, which says a lot. Installation instructions located at their site makes this a must script. I give it an "A+++".

This is what a free forum should be. Many features, MySQL backend in an upcoming version, huge installed base and support base, no advertisements, easy to install and easy to modify. Wow!

The community's great and the board is fast and reliable, even in beta. Version three has all the features you could find on other bulletin boards all compiled into one nice looking and extremely customizable script.

This is exactly like UBB which is the best BB on the planet. The only difference is that this board is free. Definitely my first choice when it comes to bulletin boards.

Simply awesome! I can't believe anyone has given this a rating below 9. I've used dozens of boards and out of them all, this is the best one I've ever used. And it's free!

I don't know what those two bad comments were about, but they were both wrong. Ikonboard is the only good free BBS out there and there are no ads on it.

Not bad. Needs a little work on the user interface and the admin is not so hot, but who can argue, it's free! And at that price it's hard to go wrong.

Great script. Great support. Far better than any commercial BBS I've seen. This didn't get a 10 because it's still in beta and the installation process needs some automation, but overall it has exceeded every expectation. Great job!

Excellent script. This was pretty easy to set up, but on an NT system, you have to use a forward slash instead of the double back slashes recommended in the install.cgi.

This BBS has great potential, but I have reservations about recommending this BBS to anyone that needs a stable functioning board. It is still in beta and is quite buggy at this point. Again, it has potential - only time will tell.

Wonderful board! It's full of features and can be set up easily in just minutes. This board script is equal to any commercial BBS script, and exceeds many of them in many ways! So, if you are looking for a BBS script with lots of power, but dont want to plunk down the big bucks, then this is the script for you!
