Yeah it's a pretty cool script.  I have used phpBB (several versions now),
SMF, and YaBB, and finally settled on phpBB.  Each has its own pluses and
minuses.  I still have an SMF board running on one of my lesser sites, but
I'm going to run a translator on it and convert it when I have an afternoon
free.
