Myself and Paul Vannatto have accepted the challenge to be mods and Patrick-Gilles Maillot is one of the site owners so there will be some heavy guns (or should it be goons ;D) around.

Most of the forums for the past 20 years even use the same default light blue color scheme.

PHP BB is free and open source.

But hosting services, domain name for a forum, and server space are not. Then you need a team of people to manage it, who probably want to get paid. Yes PHP BB is free, but utilizing it is certainly not.
