I'll take a look at that when I get home tonight. I've played around with some PHP but I don't feel comfortable writing my own code yet (although I do love the require () command).

I've thought about that but I think I am going to keep them on a single domain and in directories.

SMF is a good choice. IMO this is the best free forum software available now. Not as good as vB, but it is free, and you will be able to convert to vB anytime.

I started using it a few months ago and I do like it, even better than phpBB. Hacks are very easy to install (as opposed to copy & pasting code in phpBB) and built in RSS was very useful for a few projects.
