Zachary,

I use Discus on one of my sites, and I was impressed with how easy it was to
set up and customize. You can see my highly modified Discus board at:

The pro version of Discus has some nice extra features (like user
self-registration, email notification and automatic message/topic
archiving), but the free version works fine as long as you don't need this
stuff.
