Looking for a message board script that....
Hi. I am looking for a message board script that:
1) IS FREE
2) Can require user registration before viewing any current posts (as well as before posting).
3) Can require admin approval of every post, before it is posted.
4) Allows admin locking and removal of posts and threads.
Basically, I am looking for a script that can do everything UltraBoard can, but isn't UltraBoard (I've used two different versions of UB and continue to use one, and am not interested in more headaches).
I can comb the script archives and find one that fills the bill... but I am hoping to get some feedback regarding ease of use, "buggyness", etc. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Shame, I was just about to recommend UB. I'm assuming these versions were UB2000 and UB1.6 but have you tried UB1.6.5? It was a hacked up version with many bug fixes (no login loops and all the other problems). You might want to try it. I think I still have a version floating around my computer. Email me if you want it.

Myriad, I took a quick look at Discus on your recommendation. I could be wrong, but it does not seem to have the ability to require admin approval of every post. That's really a key feature I am looking for.
If it had that, I'd try it, even if it is not as visually attractive as the UB and UBB types of boards.

Minton, I tried e-mailing you but received: <<Remote host said: 552 Requested mail action aborted: exceeded storage allocation
Giving up.>>
Yes, I'd give the hacked 1.6.5 a go, if it had the ability to require admin approval of all posts. Nice of you to offer it.
