I absolutely love the Stack Exchange model for asking Questions and voting on answers.

I have been looking at different forum platforms and at the moment I am considering either Vanilla, but likely to lean towards phpBB (with some Mods like Resolved and Reputation bolted on)

Am I missing something? I saw some websites like Splunk Answers and Pods have a near identical design to SE.
- Is there a free platform/template out there that mimics the Stack Exchange platform?

I saw Stacked, but 1st impressions it looked a bit rookie.

I think your best bet if you don't want to pay anything is OSQA.net or http://shapado.com.

But if you'd like a solution where you don't have to bother about hosting or upgrades or complicated installations, then I suggest you check out my companys platform called http://answerbase.com.
