What's the best 'free' forum script?
In your experience, which do you think is the best?

I'm trying to start up a forum community and would like suggestions on which I should use.

I would say SMF, but really i would use http://forumer.com but the bad this about this is that you can't host it on your website,you need to use their hosting. Remember click on inivasion board setup, not phpbb. Myself i don't like phpbb but really i dont mind it

I tried FUDForum (www.fudforum.org) at the weekend, I wasn't that impressed though. I would still vote for phpBB.

How would I be able to put a PHPBB forum on a page of my website, it is a project for school, and could be really useful to get more marks. Doing it in HTML

imo, phpbb is a GREAT forum system. Let's just about anyone start a forum.

But that creates a whole new problem, lol.

HAHA,

Imagine, a forum discussing what is happening in the neighbourhood, a forum about parking, a forum about mrs aberson's new garden makeover
