    Lightbulb electroinc forums - what's the best? (oh, FREE if poss)

    I'm helping a charity http://papworth.org.uk with a project, and looking at setting up an internet forum so that service users can get involved with their suggestions, idea etc.

    I might be setting up other forums to, so it would be helpful to maintain more than one, with one account. Free ones too, please.

    The best is probably vbulletin (paid)
    Free is usually phpbb

    There is also invisionfree (ads and hosted on their servers)

    I used to look after a phpbb forum for someone - one piece of advice I'd suggest if you do go for phpbb is to keep an eye on security updates - and regular backups.

    (This also applies for any stand alone system of course!)
