And before anyone asks, yes you may add this list to your forum as long as you leave a link back to this topic or http://www.forumlair.com

I am sure there might be a few more free ones, it's quite good 🙂
 
No problem at all, I am actually researching more just to see how many I can find.
 
Can you add in which of them have the gnu license (phpbb, mybb, etc...). 😎
 
Good to see you have a list, but a few are out of date.

MyBB is at 1.4.13, and vBulletin released 4.0.4, as examples.
 
I will add the updated versions tonight along with some more Forum Softwares.

@22_22 really just looking for software and not actual hosters. Thanks anyway!

Regards.
 
Updated with licenses, changed some versions and also added a couple more softwares to the list.
 
Quite a nice list you've made, there :] Other than IPB, vBulletin, MyBB and phpBB, I've never actually heard anything about the others. And don't forget to add Zetaboards to the Free Forum Softwares list.
