I participate on several sites that use phpbb with mysql. I really like the
functionality in phpbb. The administration is good. You can create groups,
private forums, all the nifty things you want a forum to do.

Does your host charge monthly for MySQL (which is _not_ the same as MS SQL
Server) or just a one time setup fee? If they charge monthly, then yes, I
don't know if I'd want to use it either. But my host, and many others I've
seen, just charge a one time fee to set it up, usually $10 or so.

Howdy all.
Using FP2002, Windows Server with MS Access installed (sql & mysql available
but rather not spend more money on them if possible)
Host supports PHPBB and Snitz type forums (and will install them for small
fee - saves me brain space).
I like the look of php better than snitz, but I suppose the can both be
skinned...
Question(s):
Which of the two (or any other recommended ASP or PHP) forums would be
easier to admin, and are there any reliability problems which should cause
me to select either php or asp over the other?
Any forseeable problems with using them with Access rather than sql type db?
TIA
