I started with phpBB then went to Invisionboard (I switched to Invision right before they went paid) then vBulletin. I've had vB longer than I had the other two and I'm absolutely loving it!

I know there are a ton of different kinds of forums but these are the three I've used and I probably won't use anymore since third time's a charm and I found the one I really love.

Edited to add. I'm a total idiot. The lounge isn't for vB talk. Hey Mods, you can move this if you need/want to. :alien:

Over the years, I've used:

phpBB, MyBB, Burning Board, YaBB! (and its derivatives), vBulletin 2, and vBulletin 3. Used Burning Board for the longest time until I decided to just shell out $160 and get a vB.
