Other services like phpBB and IkonBoard?

[MxPxDork85]

Hey everybody,

I was wondering two things:

1) Is there any other services like phpBB and IkonBoard that are free, and if so what are the addresses to thier sites.

2) What is a service that i could host a phpBB or a IkonBoard (or a service like it) for free. Don't mention F2S, I already know about them.

Thanks,

1) www.xmbforum.com (PHP) seems good
www.yabb.xnull.com (Perl)
2)For ikonboad, any service that supports CGI, a lot do these days.
With phpBB, it's a little compicated, you nee PHP AND MySQL. You can use www.barrysworld.net and www.freesql.org

LOL, XMB and phpBB look the same.
Any others?
Which do you think is best?

xmb is okay, but it has a lot of bugs.

i personally like Blaze Board (http://bbhacks.com) for php/mysql boards.

yabb is a pretty decent perl board.

Also vB (this board) is nice, if you can afford it.
