I think phpBB is a very good forum, easy to use etc. You even get free support from their website if you need help, the only down side is having to search for mods and lack of auto update facility.

Im with Temi, phpBB is easy to run, but a pain in the ass to keep up with updates and patches.

i personally think mercury board is the best, then vbullitin, then phpbb since phpbb is so easy to hack and ive seen many websites suffer due to phpbb hacking.
