OK, the title is not appropriate. I know there are tons of open source scripts for creating a forum and personally I really liked SMF but I think all these are for very big boards. To me I want something like vanilla script. I am going to try it but just wanted others opinion like is there any other script for building small forums. I don't think so that I will even be getting 100 threads in a month so I don't want to make subforums. I hope i am clear in what I am trying to do.
thanks mate, you seems to be pretty active in replying to my posts as well as in others post I guess repped you couple of greenies[you already have soooo many]... Now let me download vanilla.
I would go with punbb It is the best free script around and if you really need all what "big" ones have just go to punres.org You can see my exaple at Optimizacija spletnih strani
I'll probably vote for vbulletin because most of the known webmaster used this. So it just means that its safe and easy to implement.
why are you asking for small board always remember the word "Dream Big" any way if you are satisfied with it,i don't have anything to suggest.but i would suggest phpbb,it has great support and is free.
phpBB for a small board, I would suggest phpBB for a midsize board, vanilla, (400+kb download!) punbb and xennobb would do just fine. I don't understand why people would suggest vBulletin, I prefer IPB because of its cleaner code, vBulletin's code is messy and hard to integrate with existing software. Just my $0.50
