Looking to add a message board/forum to site

Did y'all ever launch one Jason?

This is probably a good place to start:

We don't have one at work, but personally I've worked with phpBB and liked the flexibility.

Probably the most complicated part would be if you wanted to hook into the Town News database for users/authentication.

This is something I've wanted on our site for a few years. As it is now I guess we would have to use phpBB or something simlar.
