    DP forum is most likely the worlds largest SEO forum
    do you really want to compete with the humanb resource of a 60'000 member community in knowledge and experience resources ??

    I'd go with VBulletin with VBSEO ( www.vbseo.com ).

    If you're looking for something quick and easy (..and free) that's SE friendly, go with www.seo-board.com .

    um... www.webmasterworld.com :)

    I guess the guy wants the forum which is SEO Friendly not make a forum about SEO.

    To answer the post,

    both PHPBB and vBulletin can be URL Friendly. There are plugins to do that in phpBB and vBulletin I guess has built in. If you got spare $$$ then obviously vBulletin would be the best choice but remember you have to spend that $$$ every year.

    Yes, not going for SEO forum, just SEO friendly forum that will be indexed
    by the unfriendly and cruel spider crawlers. By the replies here i think i
    will choose VBulletin, since i have now heard so much good about it, also
    PHPBB has security problems now and then.. so i think it's clear that i
    spend the little money i have in the forum.

    Thanks for all the replies.

    Have a look at SMF (simplemachines.org), one of the few that I shortlisted besides vbulletin and IPB.
