Same, about 3 days ago I scrapped UniBB and began re-writting it (Project I started in 2006)
In a day and a half I've written more then the equivalent of a week back then XD

this far, Iv'e only used phpBB 2 to administer, and it haves it's ups and downs.
i've tried with phpBB 3, but it seems much more advanced to administer. so I haven't learned that one yet.

vBulletin. I've also moved this thread to a more appropriate forum.

I like Simple Machines because it has a really good permissions system, and is very easy to customize. I think the permission system is really good. :D I think it's harder to customize the look of Simple Machines but adding features, and security permissions is really simple. :)

I've tried them all and couldn't stand the administration side of most except for vBulletin. I think vBulletin is a step ahead all of the other forum types.
