    This forum is using Vbulletin. Whatever info you need can be obtained from http://www.vbulletin.com/ . There is a lot of mods, logos etc that can be changed, after purchasing, you can just post an advert here for designers or programmers to help you mod the forum to your preference.

    Well you need to know the Scripting, then you can get your intended effect very easily with any Forums. Try Hiring a Coder instead if you cannot afford vB... For vB as well, you'll need a Coder, so why not hire one on a Free Script, That'll cost you less.

    Do a google search for Free bb scripts. There are so many out there that you are sure to find one that fits your needs.

    I suggest you try the forums here

    http://www.opensourcecms.com/index.php

    All have real life demo for you to test out which do you prefer. It is a very good resources for those who are undecided on what choice to make simply because PHP presents a fantastic array of great choices.

    Among all vbulletin is the best ... make it as an investment ... you will get back within 3-4 months or less than that

    vBulletin and IPB are the paid ones I will recommend

    And for free ones
    Try phpBB 3

    that is the best free forum script yet ;) at least that is what I think

    I seconded phpBB 3, it seems quite a leap forward compared to its notorious phpBB 2 which has a lot of vulnerability issues. One problem is for phpBB 3 you may need to wait for the mods to be developed and available as it is a newly released version.
