Hey I'm new here as well. I, myself, have started a forum based site not so long ago. I use free forums @ www.phpbb.com . There are also forums that you can pay for, I guess they should be better since you have to pay for them, those are vBulletin @ www.vbulletin.com and also Invision powere boards, I am not sure about their site. Hope this helped :cheesy:

Among free and open source software, phpBB tops my list. Fairly good product, huge MOD database, and pretty good support.
If you haven't got much time, and want to see what the new phpbb3 can offer, just try it out on this host : << snipped >>
Hope this can help!

phpBB is the best...
but to think about security, the latest version of vBullettin is the most secure..
so you have to choose.. :D

For Free i say PHPbb and paid VB but like most of the site owners use PhpBB so its more Vulnerable but they always provide patches Phpbb is easy to use with lots of mods , always backup your database and update your forum.

Just use a free one for now. They all do basically the same thing. When you get big enough, let your IT worry about it.
With http://www.forumotion.com you can even domain forward, which makes it real easy.
