Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

Now I'm looking for a decent theme - I tried a few, but most dont work with the latest version 1.2.12.

Any suggestions for themes?

I have installed SMF 1.6 in my Proxy Forum. https://www.nepalproxy.com/forum Well Paid Forum scripts like IPB and VBulletin aren't upto my reach because of their price

Thank You

SMF is pretty good as well. But I would still prefer MyBB as they are quite similar to VB and its free

Yes I was amazed to see MyBB for the first time, it has similar features like that of VB and newbies can hardly differentiate. The best thing I like about SMF is their easy update. Like in phpBB we have to edit and do that and that..it's very difficult and messy but SMF does everything quick from it's ACP. Simple upgrade simple mod install everything is simple So SMF is my choice for free forum script

Actually you can get your host to do the upgrade for you, thats what I normally do :P

I like bbpress a lot because it's easy to write plugins (just like in wordpress)

Is bbpress new? I never heard of them. Are they hack-free?

They are still in beta, the code is written by the people from wordpress.

You can't compare them with big forum software but it's ok, the best thing is that they use akismet for fighting spam (spammy post never show up)

Ah I see, if its from the creators of wordpress then I am sure it will become big one day but I will still use Mybb, its great, affordable plugins and no spam as well

The best forum script I have used is SMF.
I've had a lot of forums, some pretty large and SMF was the best to administrate and offers a lot of modules as addon
