I have tried everything to match my site. BBPress, Vbulletin, and what not. Simple:Press is exactly what it is called. Simple. Yet, it is very powerful and easy to use.

I had installed it before but needed more functions. After un-installing it and trying everything else wasting 6 months in the process, I just signed up with the 2 month plan, installed it in minutes!

The boards are still empty, but hopefully in a few days my visitors will start posting. You can check it out here:

good luck - again   hope it helps your site grow!

Well... In the past, I had my site on another CMS system and made very little money until I got a message board. At that time I used Vbulletin. It really helped the site grow.

I switched to WordPress and since them the site make very little money. I hope with the message board things will improve. I will report back in a month. I added some icons today and it really looks the way I like.

Definitely looking good there, good luck
