I had a PHPBB in 199X for a small group of friends / club. It would frequently get hacked or spammed if you didn't update patches and monitor it quite closely which was annoying. Most of the forums I use (apart from this one) have moved to Facebook which is awful in terms of searching historical posts, but okish for small realtime groups and 0 cost/work. Reddit was good of course but not it's kind of annoying. Usenet was big when I had my own site. There are still a few custom built forums that I frequent as well. Please don't say Twitter...
