Hello people of the webs. I am currently trying to create a forum website for a completely different game but since most Minecraft server forums look amazing, I thought I'd ask here. I know how to host, thats not the question. I want to know what would be the best forum software for what I am trying to do. I used phpBB in the past and the functionality is great but it looks bad. Same with myBB. This kind of goes for every BB forum software in my experience. I want something that would look characterized. Kind of like this forum or for a great example of a website --> wynncraft's forum. I want to be able to use my own art and just have it looking nice all around. It would help if you can list me examples of websites that use the services you mention to better make a decision. Thank you!
By the way I make intros and graphics if anyone is interested.
The forum software the site you listed is using Xenforo, a very powerful but very pricey software, I wouldn't recommend it for a new-starting forum although it is handy.

You know they aren't meant to look totally awesome "out of the box" so to speak, right? Generally people who run them (and care about such things) put a bit of effort into customization.
The forum you linked is using XenForo, but it's a premium forum software, so it'll cost you a fairly large chunk of money. For free, I'd stick with myBB, phpBB or SMF. Although if you're able to dish out the cash I'd probably go for a premium software like XenForo, IPBoard or VBulletin.
