Personally I prefer MyBB which is My Bulletin Board. It is rather similar to this one (Invision Power Board) but is free. I don't know though how many modifications are out for it because I never really looked into it though. As for a second place, PHPBB is definately a good board. They have lots of styles nad modifications but I really don't prefer the administrator panel. To check them out further check these links

And phpbb3 is now downloadable in Beta with some pretty serious changes to the scripts. Apparently a Major Overhaul, especially in the Admin Panel.

I think i like the sound of the myBB.. You see i create wap/mobile sites mainly not web sites. I use a mobile version of opera to browse the web alot (like now) and phpBB is nasty an slow for my device. This forum is ok. So im pretty sure i will go for myBB. I need it for more advanced members of my wap site to post snippets etc as doing this on wap or in wap chat/forums often causes many errors even after its been filtered. Thanks for the advice ;-)
