Good Forum software - Suggestions please

[GSD]

My Site is up and running and I would like to add a forum capability.

I have no desire to reinvent the wheel.
I want to plug n play.

Open source or off the shelf please.

Some background

Me-2-B.com has the simple premise that people should be recognized and rewarded based on their ability to Get Stuff Done.
Think Ebay for hired services.


Your advice is appreciated.

phpBB is probably the most commonly modded forum software out there.
Due to the frequent use of it, it's often targeted by hackers, however, if you ensure that you stay up to date with the latest version and have a security patch, much like Wordpress, it'll be secure.

There are also hundreds of mods for it, so no matter what functionality you want out of your forum, there will be a mod that enables it for you.
