I assume we're talking BBS='forums' or 'message boards.'
phpbb is STELLAR, but I'm not sure if that's made to fit
your requirements.  The user interface can be a bit foreboding
to "newbie netizens", and it requires the equivalent of apache,
php, and mysql (other platforms are supported---I don't recall
what other db's are available).

The look and feel are fantastic, the admin interface is web based
and powerful, and it's used all over the place.  Great stuff, and
it's in the ports under /usr/ports/www/phpbb.
