    I use and love MyBB (MyBB - Free PHP and MySQL Forum Software) for all my forums and would highly recommend it. It has most of the same features you would get from a paid solution too. The owner is a cool guy and does custom skins for very reasonable prices as well.

    Use Mybb, it's a FREE PHP & MySQL discussion board.
    It's easy to install, you can have complete control over your forum, easily extend forum functionality and it's easy to use for you and your visitors.
    I use it for an about 3 years now, i recommend it with pleasure.

    I always opted for SMF 2x where I can customize my files, pages, themes myself & according to my needs so that i can attract more number of users to my web portal.

    SMF offers tonnes of features in it including customizable themes, Wiki portal, Multi Forum, Large Space of DB, & many more.

    These kind of forums can easily be modified with a variety of patches available at SMF portal.
