Hi, what do you think ? which one is the best forum software? to start a forum like dp.... Free or premium I want to start a forum for International Students.. phpfox is ok for that or not? what do you think
I go with whatever, and don't pledge allegiance to any forum software. However, I've been using MyBB and IPB 3.1, definitely MUCH better (and lighter) choices than phpBB and vBulletin, respectively.
for example, i am using phpbb3 and don't have any problems, but i think that the best software is vbulletin, btw it is paid.
MyBB (free) or IPBoard (Paid). phpBB is probably the worst choice in terms of SEO, performance, and security. Plus it lacks really basic features like quick reply. If you go for vBulletin, be sure to install 3.8. 4.0 is not ready for production at all.
VBulletin is $199 ripoff MyBB rules there is alot of good mods you can install on your forum overall it is really easy to use
The fact is none is "best" and it's subjective to your purpose. Try the top ones and examine which is more intuitive for you and has the features you want. You should be able to find demos for all of them.
I'd have to say that vBulletin is the best forum software. If you have enough money to purchase it, then go for it, phpBB is next in line then MyBB. I don't seem to like IPB much...
vBulletin has been glitchy and unsecure ever since Jelsoft sold the software. Get IP.B - it's cheaper and much more stable.
I loved vBulletin and still own many licenses, however, after doing some research and comparing vBulletin with IP.Board, I found that IP.Board is far more superior then vBulletin. Feel free to compare vBulletin with IP.Board yourself by visiting http://www.invisionpower.com/ Best Regards,
This has been asked 100's and 100's of times Most ppl will say vbulletin or ipb for a paid script, and mybb, smf or phpbb for a free version.
If you guys/girls do not mind, can you please explain why you feel vBulletin is the best? Best Regards,
