what do you mean by accessible?

By accessible I mean that users with disabilities can access it.

I'm not as familiar with the commercial boards, but I've looked and haven't yet found anything from the free boards that is either Section 508 or WAI compliant. However, the next version of phpbb (version 2.0 expected sometime this year) will have an accessible template- you can read more about it at the phpbb dev board: http://area51.phpbb.com/phpBB22/
or another good site that is doing good things in this area is:
http://www.accessifyforum.com/

Good luck and let us know if you find out anything!
