yaBB stands for "Yet another Bulletin Board." YaBB is one of the leading free forum software packages that is said to rival any professional message board available. It provides a real-time chat and support system for your visitors. Differing from chat programs, YaBB forum software allows users to talk any time. Everyone can join in or read the conversation. Build a community and get visitors to come back, for interesting discussions, fun chit chat, or needed support without having to spend thousands of dollars.

This popular open-source perl forum software allows discussion forum administrators to control every aspect of their forum. Forum webmasters and administrators can also download hundreds of "mods" for any version of YaBB to add features to their yaBB forum and fix bugs and security issues. yaBB templates are also available including the BoardMod program that allows one to easily change the yaBB forum code.

Features

• Full administration and moderating options

• Ability to change settings and template on the fly
  Full 'editor' bar for inserting smileys and YaBBC tags
  Option to disable smileys
  Stats includie: newest member, total members, total posts, most recent post Graphical alert of new messages in each board

used it before switching to vB (2001-2003), hope the cleaned up the *$%'-code... (don't think one should use it for bigger boards)

They just released YaBB 2. This should be a lot better than YaBB 1 (Gold).
