    Its trully elegant and fast. Everything can be done with just mouse clicks. It uses very little resources and processes datas as fast as you click on it.

    Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    Not only is it free, but it's well-written and easy to extend or modify. Much, much better than phpBB, its closest competitor.
