Suggestion for simple, free discussion board?

Hi,

Can anyone suggest a cheap (or free!) simple discussion board that's easy to use?

If found a few. Best one so far is runboard.com

Surely there's something better out there.

Oh... and a couple of things I'm looking for:

- Visual threading, so you can see the "tree" of the discussion.

-Ability to see the thread tree while viewing an article/message.

Thx!

I have used phpBB for a number of sites that I work on.

http://www.phpbb.com

Very easy to use and setup.  I have successfully used it on $5-10 per month web hosting services (they just need PHP and MySQL support) for years.

How about scoop?

Wow that was fast!

Hmm... maybe all of JoS will just be wired into one big matrix.


Scoop looks cool, but more complicated than I need.

Also, I'm looking for something that is hosted. 


I just want to do some quick collaboration.  Don't want to get caught up in the complexity of the tool.

Dave B had a thing that worked like fogcreek's JOS forums, but he isn't hosting the zip files anymore.

There's a PHP-based clone of this board at: http://www.johnsadventures.com/backend/DiscussionForum/APHPDiscussionForum.html

No threading, though.  (=
