Ezboard is appalling. Porn pop-ups drive most regulars away from it eventually. The non-porn pop-ups just drive people away as soon as they arrive so you don't get new members.

Can you run PHP and MySQL on your server? If so, try one of these two:

phpBB: http://www.phpbb.com
vBulletin: http://www.vbulletin.com

phpBB is free, vBulletin isn't but can cope with a larger load - but from the activity here I suspect phpBB would do.

If you can't run PHP there are plenty of free Perl-based ones, e.g.

http://www.cgi-factory.com/messageboard/index.shtml

wwwboard itself is on version 2 if you want to carry on with it and see if v2 doesn't have this bug.
