Yeah sure im hosting one but it hasnt got a nice theme yet http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ thats with another host, the main smf board is at http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php SMF used to be YaBB SE but then they made it way better and fixed most of the bugs, its well worth it and easy to admin, and pretty easy to install and ill help you if you need it. You can make your own skin by editing only 3 files! (Very cool)

Then ofcourse if you look at IPB and the bloat it comes with, and the hundreds of features that no-one will ever use. phpBB used to be my favourite but then the community there stinks, they mostly are horrible people that just want the latest beta, they moan and groan about every litlle detail, i mean phpBB post a message that the server will be down for ten minutes with pleanty of notice, yet people still open threads like "I couldnt access the site" "Why do you need to go down" "phpBB sucks they shut donw sometimes" "Moan". Thats why i left the site, i loved the forum to start but then the admin panel became not the greatest and it has many features that cant be chnaged and skining is pretty hard. Where SMF is the best forum community on the web, they have boards for normal chat, support, games, jokes, and its well supported, and they ahve a good laugh, and can be serious when needed. If you have trouble they will personnaly help you with each install, all free, plenty of features and a decent default template unlike very other forum BLUE! Im not mad or angry just proving a point.

Yeah that, and it puts a custom favicon on all pages within the vBulletin root.
Personally I prefer MyBBoard(https://mybb.com/)...its got lots of features, is easy to admin and most of the MyBBoard-driven forums have lots of members...
Check this out -> http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/
They got over 35,000 members, YES, thirty-five thousand! But MyBBoard hasn't got many hacks/mods yet...I remember one of their sites which had hacks/mods for MyBBoard...
After my MyBBoard, I like IPB, its got a wonderful default skin, its easy to add mods and hacks, and most of the mods/hacks are useful unlike many of the phpBB ones...
