We love vBulletin. Major forums we've visited use it, and its feature set is very rich. Here's a for-instance:
Amarone, if he makes it over here, posts a thread about some great value wine he's tried. When he does, he adds what are called "tags" in the original post, like "Amarone,recommends" or "wine,recs". Then, any thread so tagged with the same words will have links at the bottom of it to all other threads with the same tags. Cool, huh?
I hope it works out too. I like it so far. I've used forums like this before and enjoyed the ease of reading and posting. And it is fast, I like that when I'm trying to sneak a post in at work.

I love it so far. I managed to upload my profile pic and avatar without once flying into a rage and sending the dog under the bed. Keep up the good work!
