What forum software is out there?

I've used PhpBB in the past, but that was a long time ago and I'm guessing there might be better stuff out there.

My requirements are:


registration required to post (name, email, password)
public viewing
some ability to customize
needs to look reasonably good (it's not for geeks)
hosted or self hosted
if self hosted it needs to be PHP & MySQL
free or paid


(I can't add tags, but I wanted to tag this "forums".)

I have to stick a vote up for your old one, phpBB.

I have used it for absolutely ages with very few issues.

bbPress from the makers of WordPress is worth a look.

I've been a happy vBulletin user for years and years - if vBulletin doesn't already integrate a feature, there's a plugin for it (or you can write your own without too much difficulty).

Licensing seems to have increased in price fairly dramatically with the release of vBulletin 4.0, however, I think you'll find it's a worthwhile investment if you plan to have a busy forum.
