MyProBB
MyProBB(TM) is a web forum designed specifically for businesses. MyProBB is developed, first and foremost, as a secure product that performs well while minimizing administration and moderation headaches - particularly from a business' point of view. Second to that objective is a core set of essential features with a professional looking user interface. Author provides one-to-one technical support over the phone (517-803-4197) to get MyProBB installed properly at no charge. Author welcomes feature requests to enhance the product but business-oriented feature requests with valid use-cases take priority. Using MyProBB for businesses purposes is $25/year. It is also free for personal use but donations are encouraged. (Hence the "quasi-commercial" license).

Powerful anti-spammer measures to keep spammers out. Even human spammers.
Anti-SQL injection code prevents database security vulnerabilities.
Anti-HTML injection code prevents cross-site scripting vulnerabilites.

Quick performance. Almost instantaneous page loading.
Scales as your business grows. Handles heavy system loads.
