Invision Power Board, PHPbb or vBulletin are all great choices for starting a forum. VB is the most popular, but my recommendation is IPB if you're starting a new forum.

Try posting this in the "For Sale / Advertising Board."

I think this thread will help you answer that.

I say make your own forum, but I like Invision over most.

I use phpBB, its probably the best for a small forum, once you get a large amount of traffic its better to use VB though.

I use PHPbb and it's quite easy to modify it if you have some knowledge about PHP and HTML.. (I've got 1500+ members)

I don't think traffic is any problem for PHPbb, just take a look at this forum:

if you have tons of $$$ and loads of members, then its VB all the way!:lala:
