Title: SMF

Ah, SMF. Had to write plugins for it once. Horrible plugin architecture, but decent enough forum from what I saw.

Plugins are a lot easier to add that they are to phpBB. That being said, I think I had a lot more control over how things were under the old board. However, when it hits 45% cpu cycles on a shared box, the host gets a bit perturbed, and they do things like start renaming files and changing permissions.

Writing plugins was not as straightforward as Phorum I can tell you.
Had to write the same plugin twice in php. Once for Phorum and an almost complete rewrite for SMF. Almost no code could be re-used.
