bbBoard v2 is simply the best. No one offers more options, scalability, security or ease of use. Just download one file, run it and you have a board. If you're serious about bulletin board technology, if you want one that gives you everything you want and more, bbBoard v2 is for you.
The difference is simple. bbBoard v2 is written in the most powerful scripting language on the Internet: Perl 5. You can change anything you want by hacking into the code -- add admin privileges, modify HTML, add database backends and create add-ons. But its flexibility is about more than hacking. You can also create templates for each page, change forum views, change colors and images and anything else. Want to integrate other software? Just use bbv2's programming APIs. When we say customizable, we mean it.
