Hi there,
This forum soft is called vBulletin and is very popular piece of PHP/MySQL board around. It has good history; it's stable, fast and efficient. You can get it (rather buy it) from:
http://www.vbulletin.com/
But, if you are looking for similar board for free, here's good choice:
http://www.phpbb.com
or
http://www.openbb.com
Otherwise, choose IkonBoard forums if your server does not offer PHP/MySQL.
Best Regards,

By "easy", do you want something that doesn't require local setup on your part? Then you might look at something like ezboard (beware: ads). Otherwise, Enigmatic pretty much covered it.

I'm not a forum expert but the one that I use is ikonboard. It is completely free, easy to set up, and has all the features that I could think of ever using.
i believe the website would be ikonboard.com

I have been toying with Burning Board. It is still in kind of a beta mode but it looks and works pretty well. Some of the docs are in German. I have also heard that it will be renamed to wbulletin once out of beta. It is open source so it beats paying the $160 that vbull charges.

Hi there,
I also have tested the Burning Board and found it very fast. Reminds me much of vBullentin. Definitelly it's worth of trying out.

Hey, thanks for all your replies, i have actually tried Ikonboard.com but found it so confusing to download! Im not very clever with all that stuff! But i will try all your other options thank you.
