I just discovered that the Joomlaboard team has merged with the Fireboard team. (Read the announcement at the Fireboard site here.) This is an exciting development for the Joomla! community because the Fireboard component breathes new life into a much needed component. Joomlaboard has been around for a long time. It started out as a simple message board component for Mambo, and it grew into a more full-featured forum component like what you see today. It has long been the only full-integrated Joomla! forum component available, which in my opinion makes it more appealing than some of the bridged forum components like phpBB and SMF. However, development has slowed down in recent years, and it has not kept up with other forum packages' features. With the birth of Fireboard, and the subsequent merger of Joomlaboard with Fireboard, it looks like this great component might once again become the forum component of choice for Joomla! webmasters. Thanks to the Fireboard team for picking up the slack, and thanks to the Joomlaboard team for recognizing their efforts by joining forces with them.

Fireboard is AMAZING and the community standing behind it will push it forward . I moved to Fireboard just after I saw thier forum .. I was like ( THIS IS THE FORUM I WANT TO USE )
Fireboard will be a real slap to the face of all forums that work with bridges . People are really sick of using these bridges it always cause errors and require some one with experience to do it . I recommend any one using Fireboard to come and join the community there ... post your feedback , wishlists , support requests and you will find lots of hands trying to help  I designed a dark template for FB 4 days after its release cause lots of people was asking for it. After it was done the developers welcomed the template and posted it on their website  Conclusion Fireboard .... a great forum system ... a great community 1 report abuse

I recently took over a website that has fireboard. I have experience with PHPBB. I find it frustrating that the NEW posts system does not work correctly. Also no fix for the moving threads from one group to another, only thread by thread from inside the message. I'm sure they are working on it but as of today 12/1/07 we still can't get the new posts indicator to work correctly and some hacks to the code have not been great solutions. Theres an 18 page thread about this problem on the official forum. Hope we can get it to work as good as PHPBB worked for me over the years.
