Default Anyone know where I can get multiple forums?

Does anyone know of a forum system/software/service which will allow me to set up many forums while allowing the users of each forum to log into each and every forum with one username and password?

I don't mind if it's remotely hosted. I think proboards allow its members to log into all proboards with one username and password (I could be mistaken) ..but I kinda don't like proboards much.

Even better, would be forum software that I could install onto my own server. I want to create dozens of forums, but I don't want to have a different username and password for each one. I've been wanting to do this since forever.

I would like to encourage my members to visit more than one forum, and that's hard to do if they have to register on each one.

Any advice, information or help will be appreciated :)

vBulletin (the WebProWorld software) allows for this.

If you need a free one, YaBB also allows for this. If you want to see it in action, check out the fantasy sim baseball league I play in at http://www.haymakerhockey.net/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl . I'm just not sure about the admin end of things, having never configured a YaBB board before.

I believe phpBB does as well, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

Hope this helps.

I just wanted to point out that WebProWorld was based on phpBB, not vBulletin.

I can almost hear you rolling your eyes at me, Adam, lol.

Ummm...why would I do that?

EDIT: Never mind. Just saw why. I never realized that it was based on phpBB.
