The thing is, I pay for a forum script. As long as I get the best forum available I am happy. At the moment with all this new stuff, vBulletin seems to be just covering itself in unneeded crap.

Obviously, I can't base my opinions on anything solid except for posting on the forums. Sadly, I don't have the money to pay for a licence just so I can run a forum on my computer to play around with it for a year. I love running forums, but I hate paying for them.

Something I had my eye on for a while was MyBB, as well as SMF.
