meI'm searching for an OSS Message Forum (Bulletin Board) package, preferably Java or PHP-based. I've already looked at:

Jive Forums
  Very nice but not really OSS and pricey.
Jute Forum
  Nice too, but not yet available. Too many unknowns.
nvnForum
  I like the RSS feeds, but I'm not sold on the look and feel.
w-agora
  Lots of features, but I really don't like the way it looks/operates.
phpBB
  Seems to be the best so far.

If you know of others, please let me know.
