WWWThreads is a fast/reliable discussion forum licensed under
the GNU GPL. Combining and adding upon the best features of
available forum packages it offers a multitude of end user options
that allow the forum operator and the end user to customize the
forums to their liking. These options include both flat or threaded
displays, expandable and collapsable threads, various post layouts,
private messages, user profiles, search engines, file attachments,
board subscriptions and more. A total admin package includes
moderators, categorized boards, unlimited boards, hidden boards,
ban/unban username or ip, close threads, expire threads and more.
Runs off of Mysql for reliability and will run under mod perl for
speed.
New in version 3.4. Smiley markup tags have been added.
Private/Hidden forums are in place. ICQ enabled. More search
options and a new Post Format option available at the config level
and in the user’s profiles.

Update:
If you are running version 3.4 of WWWThreads, there are 2 files
with holes in the hidden forums that will allow users to search or
subscribe to forums they are not allowed to. Version 3.41 fixes
both of these problems.
