Hi Michael,
I checked out four different software packages (UBB.threads, vBulletin, phpBB, FuseTalk) before making up my mind and deciding on Threads. PhpBB is a freebie so that choice was the first one to drop out of contention. FuseTalk was the next to go because apart from the fast search feature it didn't seem to have much to offer. I wasn't all that impressed with vBulletin's support, so they too were crossed off the list.
Threads, on the other hand, has everything going for it. For starters it's an Infopop product so upgrading should definitely be easier than with 3rd party software. Support also stays the same because in essence you'd be dealing with the same people. And the fact that it has a multilingual interface makes it a top choice for us.
Ever since Infopop took over Threads, they have turned it into a professional piece of software, redesigning and streamlining it in every possible way. It's definitely one of the fastest bulletin board programs on the market right now. If you want to give it a closer look then check out
