I think vBulletin is without question a clear winner in terms of security, looks, features, and stability, and would therefore be the most effective forum software on the market in my opinion. It's definitely something you might want to check out, and there seems to be a lot of cheap licenses...

Definitely a very good list of basics everyone should cover before getting started. I think it's also good to try and separate yourself from the competing forums, by offering a table of discussion they currently do not. Forums also tend to work well with viral advertising, and pulling off some...
