I have tried every single one, and each one is okay at somethings.

Proboards is very easy to skin. Invision power Board is very admin friendly. There is nothing you can't do with vBulletin. Simple Machine Forums are very simple and easy, MyBulletinBoard is perfect for Communities because of all the user-friendly features they have, Invisionfree is hands-down the easiest to run and, well, its completely free. There are a few other fairly good softwares out there, but these are some of the best.

So, here is a few questions:
  1. Which is your favorite?
  2. Which one(s) have you used?
  3. Which one(s) would you like to try that you haven't?
  4. Which is the most admin-friendly?
  5. Which is the most user-friendly?
  6. Which offers the best support?
