Forum Software Recommendations?

[SteveHardeman]

I'm going to start work on a forum. It'll be ad supported. Long-term project.

phpbb? vbulletin? something I never heard of?

Does it matter?

Any recommendations?

phpbb3 is a little disappointing... it's easy to integrate but kinda sucks as a forum.

vbulletin is your best bet.

I like SimpleMachines forum and it's free to use.
