Need Forum Platform Suggestions

[techblog]

I am lucky to be a part of this great forum, with awesome talented members.
been toying on my idea of building a forum from past 1 year.

confused ,what should I go for vBulletin, phpBB, myBB, xenforo, etc
vBulletin is paid and popular and coupled with vbseo it works wonders. others are good too...
I am sure most of the people here have been a part of other forums or have forums for themselves,

Looking for your constructive opinion here and suggestions here.


say, I have a site A on tech and site B on students stuff , does it make sense to experiment with having vbulletein on site A and phpBB or other forum on site B?

I am looking forward for brainstorming. I assume for the forum to be strong is its content, its reach and its members

Let me know if I am missing something , inputs welcome

You could give a shot to vBulletin since it's a great piece of software that you can use to build great forums like BHW.

I already have that in mind, I have seen most of the awesome forums built with this...but I am looking if people have other opinions than what I have,for their inputs

IPB, Vbulletin, Xenforo this are the ones that i've worked with and are kinda the best on the market.

You can start with this one : http://www.simplemachines.org/
Demo : http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?P=b62da38d8de4d8cffde50b69fa074e6b&

It's free and there is a lot of addons for it

Mine vote goes to vBulletin, it has more features and apps then other platforms and this forum is the best example of vBulletin.
