Its at http://www.yabb.org
It states on their site that it is not yet suitable for high traffic sites. My intended use is low traffic, and it looks nice. Anybody have any experience with it?

I tired it, looks very nice. Works pretty fast and has a lot of nice features built into the board.

It's not really buggy, it has some security issues. But those will be removed soon. And the new version will be able to handle a lot of traffic, not even mentioning the SQL version Laughing out loud

YaBB is great. I used it until I got UBB. Then I deleted all of the forums I had.

Also, Curisco, one need not be a scientist. Smiling

the problem with this one is, it's not working on NT (not yet, i hope...).
