Check out AEF Forums at their Board

Download a copy from their main page

Of course, I am prejudice towards it, since I Moderate that Forum and assist with the Development a little, too.

I used phpbb3 before i bought my vbulletin license. It worked fine and was nice.

Also here are some links that will help u compare different forums: http://www.forummatrix.org/

http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

Note I suggest a forum coded in php that is compatible with a mysql database
