Aqua-Soft Forumsphpbb? Invision? vBulletin? Or other?
I actually like phpbb.... personally. Invision was ok... vBulletin costs money...so i've never used it, but it looks decent...
Im sure their are others i've left out...
what do you think is the best and why?
Best Forum Software?
I like Invision PowerBoard, just seems nicer to me. The emoticons are cool too! 
I actually use phpbb on one of my websites and I like it a lot.
It's free. It's customizable, fast, and if it doesn't have a feature I need, someone's usually created a mod that I can download and install to add it in.
I started out on phpBB but then quickly got bored and so went looking for new adventure... I found it in the form of IPB... (Y)
It's Invision Power Board for me. I've tried a few of the other forums, but I always seem to come back to IPB. It's got a friendly support community, it has a good range of features, and it's easy to use and set up. Perfect 
There was a discussion about this, about 2 months ago.
At that point, I thought that vB, was better. Then I downloaded the trial of IPB, and I like it. The customization is a little awkward, but you get use to it. But this is kindof a bad time to have this discussion. vB3 is about to be released, which is supposed to be total revamped, and also IPS is getting ready to release IPB 2. So I say wait til then to decide.
Invision is the easiest to install, use and customize. It seems to have the most out there as far as addons.
