I was beginning to wonder if there was some big change and I was going to get a bill... But I agree, Simple Machines (aka SMF) is both free, and well, simple. I'm in the process of setting an SMF forum up myself for a customer community with one business I administrate.

But as you can see here in this thread, it's by far not the only option and it's a matter of which works the best with the hosting plan you have, and which comes easiest to you.
