In fact, I'm about to go and make one. Because I've seen quite a bit of support for phpbb, I think I will try that one first and if for some reason I am not satisfied with that, I will try a different type. Thank you all for helping and putting in your suggestions. I appreciate your help.

I like to use Phpbb and host it on my own server but sometimes Phpbb fails me....Anyway, adding Add-ons are fun but you need to back-up your files first, anything could go wrong. What i like about phpbb the most is because of many skins and addons

I like proboards for its ease of use (for me ^^) and how u can customise it i think its alot easier than invision but thats my opnion

Well... i think the best one is XMB... if you like phpBB.. feel free to try it.. i think you will be pissed off because of the stupid security exploits hacks... many people always hack phpBB.. i suggest trying out something new...

I would personally go for phpBB for general ease of use, and overall goodness, I do however like invisionfree is probably technically better, I like the freedom that is offered by phpBB, as it is a free product not a free version of a comercial product and as such you have more freedom to theme and to 'enhance' the functionality of the forum.

Thank you for your continued comments. It's really been of great assistance. Does anyone by chance have a link to XMB, several of you have talked about it, but I'm not exactly sure where to locate it, because I think I might give it a try.
