What forum software did you start with?

Whether you've been in the forum administration game for 20 years or a month, what software did you start with? Compared to all the other options at the time what made you choose it?

My first forum probably would have used either Zetaboards or Forumotion.

A forum script that was so simple it had no admin panel, no account system, no db. You just typed in whatever name you want and make a post. It was a complete disaster. I next tried a hosted forum from ProBoards. It was junk. So I figured out how to host my own and started with phpBB. This was around 2001.

I've used a lot since then. Currently, I use Xenforo, and I love it.

I believe my first forum was Zetaboard, but I could be wrong.
