Here is the link for my band's mesasge board, it's fairly new so there are not many people on it. Here is the link:
http://www.zone52.com/distraught/ubb/Ultimate.cgi It's a freeware board with these hacks:
1. cookie (remeber passwords)
2. flaming folder
3. last post by in the forum display
4. homepage
5. open/close/delete thread
6. edit
I also change all the colors around to match my main website. One of the most important things is making your bulletin board have colors that well together and go with your website's theme.
I think on you board, the blue background color is a little too bright, try a darker color. Other than that it looks pretty good.
