Sorry to hear that. When you are up and running, I'd also recommend phpBB. It has been open to attacks, but what isn't these days? IMO, it's the best free solution out there, and there are plenty of things you can do with it. Plus it's incredibly easy to control it and modify it to get it exactly how you want. When I first got my website, I went with Infopop hosting services back before they bought WWWThreads. Their admin page was very confusing and poorly layed out. Not so with phpBB. I was also able to format my phpBB to look like it belonged in my site, not like exact same board as every other one out there only with different colors.
