Which among the above three is the best Discussion Board and why?
I mean I want to know the difference in features which they offer.
As per me PHPBB2 is the best.
But I would like to have an expert advice

I want to learn making discussion boards and want to make a similar discussion board as provided by vBulletin which is not an open source....

"PHPBB2 is the best", you have already determined the "best" so there is nothing to advise you about. "The best" anything is subject to the opinion of others and is not a measure of quality. You need to determine which one of those items meet your requirements and use that. We cannot know what your requirements could possibly be.

I want all the features as close as it can be as provided by vBulletin

And so? It's called "doing some research". Besides that, it still does not change the fact that you have already determined that one of those packages is the "best" so there is nothing else to discuss.

Considering that article, I can figure out that SMF is the best considering it has a better admin panel than PHPBB.. Lemme know if I am wrong

same thing even i also prefer personally..coz admin panel is the place which is responsible for maintaining your data..so if that is perfect then ur solution is also perfect..
and yes, if my solution helped you then don't forget to accept the solution..
