PHPBB I'd go for instead of SMF or MyBB. They had planned to release PHPBB 3.1 before the new year however it will probably be early next year (the latest 3.0.8 was a security release).

That will make it easier to install mods and change skins which is currently a problem with PHPBB. Even with this issue currently I still think it's better than SMF and MyBB because of the amount of support and mods available. As for skins you'll probably get nicer SMF and MyBB skins as far as free ones go but if you get a good designer you can get great PHPBB skins.

^^ I Agree

PHPBB is way classic for me and it has really annoying management

phpbb, but if its really between SMF and Mybb I wud say mybb

[bachbell]

if you dont want a forum full of autoposter users and 3 views per topic go for mybb or SMF

smf imo, is the easiest to use..
mods and themes are installed in less than 10 seconds

MyBB, because its interface is like vB 3.x which I love the most.
