Hi,
PHPBB3 seems to be very good options for forum script.

I don't think it matters which forum software you use as long as you have a strong community behind it. Regardless of whether we use vBulletin or InvisionBoard, if the content is awesome, the users are going to keep coming back. The core functionality of all forums -- the stuff that made forums as popular as they are -- exists in all software. And for everything else, it's a combination of personal preference and individual site requirements, and there are always mods
