SM is also a good one to consider.... I once setted up it for my friend and just forgot to keep in touch with him..
if u read SM website u may find some new ideas that'll justify them as a good one... Just read that and u may get some good idea....

Are u using it?
I am also think of it...

If you want professional looks,professional templates and millions of mods and have 175$,then get vBulletin
If you want just lots of mods and some good themes get phpbb3
If you want simple (no advanced features) but good bulletin board , get myBB,SMF

For your forum to gain popularity,it is recommended that you get some domain name First.

If you want a free domain name (.com,.net,.org ,etc) and you are willing to place one banner ad and a text link,then you could try *www.hyperwebenable.com/ For Getting your free domain name

^^ Plz don't start posting thread of other forum It was discussed when MyBB 1.4.2 wasn't released...and i prefer not to surf any forum rather than digit because all other tech forum sucks but digit rocks..

@ Krazzy Warrior,

* Yes I am using myBB for my forum.
* Mod CP is there from 1.4.0

The most interesting thing is the AJAX powered quick reply, just like digit forum sported few months back. dunno why all AJAX based feature is disabled here...

So Did you decide whether to go for Phpbb3 or MyBB?
Remember that phpbb3 has lots n lots of themes compared to those i could find for myBB

I know many sites that provide 1000 theme for MyBB..Thanx..I will update my first post (#1) today

So which forum are you using??

IPB Rocks !!!

Well, I would also suggest MyBB 1.4.3, but it has got less good themes compared to phpBB3.
