While I'm no fan of the 20-sided die, the system is excellent. Fast. Versatile. Intuitive. It can do whatever you want, unlike most others when you account for its speed.
Take a close look.

Their forum still exists, but you can't post anything there... but you can lurk at will!

M&M, which is by the same company and which seems to share a bunch of the mechanics, is fantastic, so I'm pretty on-board with True20.

It's 3.X but with a lot of the character options broken up into lego pieces. Steve Kenson and Co at GR pointed out that 3.5 was build modularlly and broke it down so you can make what you like.
That said, it's not perfect it is 3.X and while supported (previously) it's often treated as a dead 3.X version.Running games in the Space Coast, FL area. Looking to play? Drop a line.

Re: True 20 any good?
I have it and ran a few good session with it. Though I liked it, I stopped using it because Green Ronnin stopped supporting it once M&M became popular.
So a decent system but in practicality it's not really worth it.

Re: True 20 any good?
True 20 is decent, but there are a number of other classless games of similar complexity that work just as well or better. Starting with GURPS.
I would really like to see a game made by Obryn, Kurald Galain, and Knaight from these forums.
I'm not joking one bit. I would buy the hell out of that. -- ChubbyRain
