  I like YABB (yet another bulletin board). Easy to install and setup, it's in 
widespread use and there's support available.

Check out vbulletin, it's like $160 but it's the best that i've found.. 
and super configurable.

SMF (Simple Machines Forum) is by far the best free one I have come 
across. It has tons of features out of the box, a helpful community, and 
a nice staff.


http://www.simplemachines.org

I don't think vBulletin is worth the money. After trying SMF I am 
kicking myself for purchasing the vB license a year or two ago. SMF also 
has the nice database based post read tracking, something that vBulletin 
still doesn't even have yet (except in their new 3.5 betas I think). Not 
to mention it's 100% free and always will be. vBulletin only gives you a 
years worth of updates, and mine expired right before they released tons 
of new bug fixes.


Give it a try. The SMF 1.1 Beta 3 is pretty stable too, and has tons of 
new features. :)
