I think myBB would initially be the choice of any user here , Mainly because we run on myBB and we used to be hosted by the creator. Though I personally find myBB easier to use and less of a hassle to do simple tasks. (That is after its been set up and being used)

And I would go with myBB since almost every user here that has forums uses myBB it would be easier to gain support in setting it up.

Well, I just wanted to reply and say that it really comes down to personal preference, and what works and doesn't work for you, what you like, etc etc..

For your information , I just installed myBB for my site and it was very simple!

All you have to do is upload a folder to your space and give it your mySQL information and your forums are as good as new. I must complement Surfi on a job well done...This was easier then my counter script!
