phpbb2 was the first forum software I used for a professional forum, and it was simply marvelous, I loved it. I tried vB but I couldn't stand it. MyBB is pretty good too, has amazing features but feels a little simple and unpolished to me, although 3rd party mods and support is outstanding. phpbb do have a substantial more amount of themes available though, both free and paid.
