They use a custom codebase, its not phpBB.
Personally I like ProBoards, in my opinion its the best remotely hosted free forum around. The ads aren't too intrusive and it is relatively customizable through the control panel and theres
a lot of mods around for it. I'd say definitly use it if your site cannot support a self hosted forum. I extensively used ProBoards for a while though and know a decent amount about it - I used to post on their support forum a lot. If you have any specific questions feel free to PM/IM me.
We use phpBB on our server. Its fine, I haven't set up any mods or anything on it. I hate the way layouts are created though.
Version 3 is coming out soon I think?
