 HELP! Technogeeks I need to talk to you. *Clarified Version     [TAKE TWO!]
 
I am looking for a message or forum software like Webboard, that will support an existing forum community of approx. 1000-2000 members. However not all logged on at once. (I wish!)
The server at the ISP we are currently on is running Linux.
It would be nice if this software would allow multiple forums that are not visible to one another, without going through a common door/web page, running on one server-- but it's not a deal breaker.
This is not instant messaging. However chat would be a nice feature-- but why duplicate what IM etc does all ready?
Admin Tools need to be Common Sense Oriented. As our Admins have over 20 yrs experience in running Forum Communities and a low threshold for bs.
Must be able to interface to an FTP Library of files available for the members for professional use. 
I must have the ability to back up the entire forum or by a specific date range.
Need a  search feature.
Membership Rosters must be secure and have the ability to autorespond to password inquiries.
Membership should be able to post a profile.
And it must be price very reasonable with support (and possibly set up) as an additional fee Email me: by clicking on the little yellow envelope in the left hand corner.  A litte background: This is for an exsisting professional forum that has been online for over 15 years. There are other forums who are interested. These are very savvy users who demand a fast common sense approach to messaging with a low tolerance to BS.  Thanks again-- Mary Lu PS:  Thanks to Doc and everyone else for pointing to this message to help out! [Take One]I need a messaging software for a forum that will support about 1000-2000 members, but not all logged online at once. I would like chat, but it's not necessary. I think need multiple FTP's and the ability to run it on Linux box on my ISP. And above all-- it needs to be fast and very reasonable in the price column. Email me by clicking on the little yellow envelope on the left column.  Thanks!  Mary Lu 4:16:14 AM
