PunBB will serve as another good option. Facebook use it.

It seems facebook changed from PunBB to their own section of Stack Overflow in September last year.

BB Press is another simple option, it's by the Wordpress makers. However with the spam problems on their official forum and other downsides, I think Vanilla and PunBB would probably be better options.

Ok thanks.

I already have phpbb on another forum, by simpler i mean lighter.

I have gone with vanilla.

Those light forums you speak off aren't too good in my opinion. When it comes to modifications and support it's really hard to find. Honestly, down the line you will find that it is in fact not that easy as you say. Especially if you want to have a big forum with a lot of members. I think members like when the forums are simple, but not too simple when they cant have simple things like ajax reply's or quick edit.

I don't know what you will be using it for, but forewarning as I've tried almost all of them. and honestly, i wouldn't go anything less than phpbb,VB,IPB.

This is for a small forum for game server support.

And vanilla has lots of plugins that gives it "normal forum" functionality.
