All these names I haven't heard muttered in years. What about vBulletin? Conforums?

[CM30 → hal0]

vBulletin got kinda killed by the Internet Brands buyout and vB4 and the vB5 upgrades. It still exists and you can still use it, but very few new sites do anymore.

vbulletin is not open source and not free, although a legacy and good choice for those kinds of scenarios.

Conforums seems defunct
