I'm planning a forum for a specific niche and cannot decide which is the best free forum script.
I've created a poll, please vote and add your comments in a reply. Thanks!
 
I have tested these three a bit, but I quickly discarded MyBB and SMF after noticing they don't support mobile out of the box. While I think phpBB also lack some things before you install plugins, at least I could use it with my phone. I don't like going around searching for plugins for every software I test.

NodeBB is also worth looking, if requiring a VPS is acceptable for you.
 
SMF and Fluxbb is a good script to start with. There is also Flarum that seems to be gaining some ground on the usage. You can also think of downloading and trying out the discourse forum script. The price wise the discourse seems like a good to start with as well. I mean there seems to be many forums using the same.
 
If you want discussion forum, you can try Discussion Bord plugin for Wordpress. I used and it's good. Enough options for starter forum. Later you buy Premium version.
 
I prefer to avoid the forum script plugins for the WordPress. Reason being it adds more load on the WordPress database. However there is one plugin named Wpforo which seems to be a good forum plugin. And it has low load and also works pretty good in terms of the themes. I'd recommend you to check it out. It's extremely good for the small forums on WordPress.
 
Personally i am against any free solution except for for testing.

Also what is the point of forum make big factor, for example for sites where is main focus forum (for example this one) XenForo is at this moment by opinion best option, bit expensive but best.

For forums who are there just as a side to a site or blog wp bbpress is more then good for it, there are some great design for it.

Ones from OP post are overrun by time and lots of bugs included.
 
It has to be MyBB. No other free forum software comes close to it really especially with the large number of themes and plugins available for it. It's extremely easy to install, set up and use. Plus, in terms of features, it's the best and comes close to a lot of paid forum software.
