I made the mistake of using Snitz on my successful website, http://www.coastercrazy.com/ I plan on starting a new website and plan to make it successful So I want to start off the right foot on this one. I need a forum that is ASP driven and can use MS SQL database and is windows 2003 compatible. One that is optimized for search engines is a major plus. What forums can you guys recommend?

The best free forum (phpbb) is also built with PHP. After a Google search I didn't find one familiar forum name on the first 25 results.. -------------------- Web Development Blog \| Stanley Web Design

I just can't code in php and like to do my own customizations so php forum with customizations I want is a nono, with ASP I can tear it up and customize it lol. Thanks Rakuli for those 2 ASP forums. I can't get the demo for the first one to work and the second one seems descent but will have to give it a test run to see how it shapes out to be. Thanks! -------------------- Free Internet Marketing \| PLR Articles
