You mean like FormMail.cgi? :-] I really don't think that his scripts 
are that bad, it's just that getting them configured for a particular 
site is not as simple as the ISP's (or he) would have you believe. 
OTOH, he's just a kid, so he's due some credit.

Anyway, I haven't actually tried to get it running, but Discus 
(http://www.chem.hope.edu/discus/) appears to be a better choice for 
this sort of thing than WWWBoard and is free (altho they claim that 
USA Today runs Discus Pro which is not free).
