when choosing any web script you should always consider the following things besides quality and price:
- community around it that allows you to solve your problems with the script, find additional modules, mods and plug-ins
- support
- will it be developed in the nearest future
- source code available
Even high quality scripts lose their poularity. For example, UBB Threads was a very popular forum, but I hardly see it beeing used these days. The most popular forums are free phpbb and commercial vbulletin and IPBoard.
