SMF is free My #1 choice would still be vb, hands down.

I have no need for a reputation system, hybrid/threaded views, multuple user groups or anything else along those lines. All I want is a forum. Everyone seems to push AJAX and other such features for vBulletin nowadays, which is why I pointed out that many other forum scripts have them. Sure, I could remove features using the Admin CP. Why should I pay for a better forum script when the others work just as well?
