I prefer SMF. only problem with SMF is that there aren't many nice templates for it.

I used to run a free forum for my classmates but finally had to shut it down ( school orders ) because of some controversies. It wasn\'t a pretty and fanciful one, but I had 93 classmates register in it :D

Nope, but I am planning one. I think it's quite hard to run a forum, specially in the beginning when you have to attract people to join it and post in them.
