I started out on ProBoards about three years ago, then moved to phpBB. Finally, I converted to IPB, which I loved and actually own a license for. But then I discovered vB. It was as great as IPB, but just had that "look" and build that I was looking for. I bought a leased license, then upgraded to the owned license two days later.

PhpBB -> ProBoards -> Invision free -> WTCBB -> VBulletin (admin in VB, I don't own it)
I started as an admin in PhpBB when some guy I knew invited me there and made me a mod, then after a while he made me an admin cause I was the most active member there (what do you expect from this free stuff anyway?). Then I found out how many free forum softwares there are out there, became admin at some PB/Invision forums, made some, etc.. I had also found out about WTCBB, but I didn't know what the heck MySQL and PHP were, so I couldn't use it. After some months, when I had started programming and everything, I figured out what databases and PHP were, so I decided to attempt programming using this stuff, which is when I found my savior, the WAMP server. I programmed in MySQL and PHP a bit, made some forum software (it looked more like an instant messenger, but that was enough for me) and after lotsa time I finally installed WTCBB on localhost. Soon, Superfly made me an admin in his forums, because of my programming knowledge, so that I could mess around with the templates and everything. And I can say that VB is the best of all these.

Keep it that way. I like it the least of all the forum softwares I've used. Not that I like the rest soooooo much though (except for VB <33).

It's actually one of the most popular remotely hosted community sites on the Internet. It's proprietary software that is based quite a bit on YaBB. But the latest version, 4, is quite different from the latest version of YaBB.

YaBB, I used to use that. LOL

Accually YaBB is a very fast board for a CGI board with tons of features and mods. I had quite a bit of fun with that board.

Before i moved to vB i used www.excoboard.com and found it a great freeboard, fully cutomizable and great support. I've also dabbled with phpbb but it didn't suit my tastes.

I've used: proboards, Invision, phpBB and vBulletin. vBulletin being the best by a long shot!
