Invasion, afaik, isn't free anymore unless your host has bought a license for it.

I prefer phpBB because thats what I am used to. And phpBB 3.0 is looking to be a good competition? for invasion.

Invasion? isn't it Invision?

Invision Power Board isn't free, no, however you can still request a demo;

HomoVasion or SpermVision, however you'll call it, SUX!

phpBB is my reply.

If I'd create a forums system today, I'd pick punbb. But as I've been invested with phpbb for so damn long with so many little changes of my own and others, I'm sort of stuck. Plus, here is hoping that phpbb 3 actually fixes a lot of annoyances.

There's no phpbb3, it got recycled and now it's under a complete new project name.

IIRC.

I like Invision Power Board, but I don't have that much experience with other boards

You guys heard about yabb? It looks like phpbb and I think its just as good, in another way.

YaBB is even older and gayer than gayvision.

IPB sux, from every count.

For free forums I prefer SMF or IPB 1.3, for paid, IPB 2.0.

vB > phpBB > IPB

If it's between IPB & phpBB, then I say phpBB hand down.

But try punbb like MGB, said.

I'm another SMF advocate. It's a very nice forum system in my opinion.

vB is probably the best, if you're willing to fork over the cash for it.

I would reccomend PHPBB because it has a lot of plugins for it available and is completely free.

Edit:
Yay! 300th post!
