I started once a forum and to get many visitors there is one good way..

Post many problems and the correct solution for that problem. And focus on one theme.

You can use different platform for different usage but the best one without doubt is http://www.vbulletin.com/ but cost is little bit considerable for people which is going to establish a new forum !
But http://www.invisionpower.com/ is a good choice also.

The only IPB that is free to use is version 1.3. PLEASE don't use it. It is full of holes and exploits since it hasn't been supported/updated in what..6 years or so?

SMF gets my vote.

I agree with you, also I think SEO optimization is better.
