Well, I was astonished to find some guys don't know SMF lol.
That will be the best free forum in the internet as to my knowledge. And that's only a forum script.

What is SMF?

Simple Machines Forum - SMF in short - is a free, professional grade software package that allows you to set up your own online community within minutes. Its powerful custom made template engine puts you in full control of the lay-out of your message board and with our unique SSI - or Server Side Includes - function you can let your forum and your website interact with each other. SMF is written in the popular language PHP and uses a MySQL database. It is designed to provide you with all the features you need from a bulletin board while having an absolute minimal impact on the resources of the server. SMF is the next generation of forum software, and best of all it is and will always remain completely free!

Smf is good, I'm using it right now. It is very easy to use, and has lotsa mods. Its only downside is it uses cookies, so it is easier to hack. But in the end, it is worth it. It is really slow from school computers though!
