    Posts like these should be discouraged on webmaster portals. By all means.

    I started with PHPBB prior to jumping to vBulletin. Looking back, I should have just found money to do vBulletin from the start. It's that damn good.

    Have you tried using MYBB?
    It's voted best free forum of the year by forum-software.org
