Can anyone recommend and extremely simple web forum?

I'm trying to set up some sort of forums on a work server. It doesn't need to be anything complicated - just for about 10 people. But I hate the forums that come with sharepoint. I want something more like good old Anandtech.

I have almost no experience with creating any web content. Is there anything out there that I can just copy over and run?

I've tried the fusetalk basic demo but nothing happens if I click on 'ok' in the index.cfm install script. I tried the webwiz forum but frontpage won't even let me copy the files over to the server. Again, let me stress I don't really know what I'm doing but thats never stopped me before!

Ikonboard is the simplest I've encountered.

The issue with Forum software is Not so much the Forum as it is with the need to maintain Data Base.

So evaluate carefully before you plunge.

YABB is a no-database forum. Works really well.

if you can run a db and php

I guess that's the problem - I really have no idea what I'm doing. Once its installed I'm sure I could take care of things, but I don't know php from cgi etc... I know we have a database - access I think - but I don't know where the directories are.

I was hoping there was something simple as copy it over and start it up for Sharepoint. I guess I need to find someone who knows what their doing to set it up.

Thanks for all the recommendations. I'm still trying to get one of them to work.
