I disagree, SMF all the way. All-Go-Free has always used SMF and it hasn't failed them to date.

Why fix something that's not broke.

Maybe a new theme to make it look better, I was about to suggest maybe  MyBB or vB for a more professional looking forums.

I would agree on a new theme, but as far as I know Core should be enabled as a standard theme if you want the old look and a lighter theme. As for buying Vb, why? No need to purchase forum software when a free and open source software does just as well.

Why would you change to vBulletin from SMF? The benchmarks are almost identical and SMF can do anything vBulletin can do. vBulletin has more customization from the control panel however anyone with some basic PHP knowledge can manipulate SMF to do the exact same thing. SMF also offers the SSI which is unmatched by most forum providers, SMF is definitely the best option when considering forum software.
