I prefer a GameFAQs (http://www.gamefaqs.com)-like board. Since GameFAQs' ASP source is not supposed to be released, many people have emulated the message boards. My own site uses the Outboards 3 source. (With edits to the source, bug/exploit fixes, enhanced moderation system, etc, so I don't look like a rip-off of OB.)

Acmlm Board (http://acmlm.overclocked.org/board) is a board created by Acmlm. It is not freely availible to everyone. In fact, very few have the source. Acmlm does not release the most up-to-date version to her selected people. I have never gotten a copy of her source, and it is against her TOS to ask for one, so I can't get one.

I think the other ones are pretty well-known.

Snitz (if appropiate security modifications are made)

If your server doesn't support asp:

phpBB (not phpBBFM, it's too bloated for dialup users)
OR
Invision (if you like the extra features)

Same here SSS. :)

My clan has been using it for yeasrs, before they switched over to something codde personally by a clan member. The design for Invision is clean, bright, and very user friendly.

I have used Invision Power Board since the v1.1 Release Candidate 1 Release. And I agree that it has a clean interface. I am using InvisionFree to host my board, which is in my signiture.
