    I'm looking for every possible open source PHP forum I can find. So far I've got PunBB, phpBB and Vanilla. PunBB has horrible coding and phpBB is way too bloated, so Vanilla is what I'm left with, what I also dislike the way they organize categories/forums.

    If you guys know of any others that are getting popular, please do post the URLs here.

    Phpbb is one of the oldest and it is also most established. There was quite a bit of issues with security in the earlier versions but these are suppose to be the past after they release phpbb3, it was just released. But it has a long long beta period so I think it should be stable and secure this time round.
