The user interface can be a bit foreboding to "newbie netizens", and it requires the equivalent of apache, php, and mysql (other platforms are supported---I don't recall what other db's are available). The look and feel are fantastic, the admin interface is web based and powerful, and it's used all over the place. Great stuff, and it's in the ports under /usr/ports/www/phpbb.
