Favourite forum Software

What is your favourite forum software.
vBulletin , PHPBB invision etc.
Please state if from a user or webmasters point of view.
My preference would be vBulletin. It has the most features, most user friendly & most customisiable.

My favorite is ipb from a webmasters point of view, the acp is very easy to use and all though the mods take time to install, I would say it is worth it. I also like it from a user point of view. It just seems easier with navigation and replying, posting, etc.

I am using mybb on cricketdiscussion.com. Mybb has a whole host of features that other free forum software like phpbb don't. It has built in ajax quickreply, inplace editing, online/offline indicator, and a fantastic admin panel. I suggest you check it out at mybboard.com.

I don't like PhpBB:

A lot of security holes
Many Mods = Harder to upgrade
Not much built-in feature

The reasons are all connected. What do I do when I have a security hole? Upgrade, when I Upgrade I have many many mods to concern about and I have many many mods becuase there are not alot of built-in feature.

I like SMF as long as the theme is changed and you don't mod it much. One can easily mod too much becuase the mod system there is VERY easy to use (though the uninstall feature isn't good)
