Development on non-paid open source forum software will always be greater than that of the ones out there that aren't. It's as simple as that, so unless you have really dedicated development from a background team on the ones that aren't the development on open source software will almost always prosper over anything else. I expect MyBB to become increasingly popular for as long as people have interest in helping it. If that continues, it's obviously going to become bigger than it's competitors if it isn't already in comparison to a few.
