    Yes you are right. Vbulletin is the best if you can afford to buy a license. Otherwise I'd suggest PhpBB.

    See the prices of Vbulletin license here:
    https://www.vbulletin.com/order/

    Thanks

    I would personally take SMF over phpBB if you are looking for a free option.

    While this is out of your price range, I thought I would point out that IP.Board is a very nice forum option and I have found it to do the job better than vBulletin.

    You may want to try out myBB as well, it is another nice free option that should give you the features that you need.

    i can't imagine it not being secure, look at this place.

    if your willing to pay go with vB, and smf is the better choice
    among the free forum software packages out there.
