does anyone here besides me use Fluxbb? seems like everyone sticks to vbulliten no love for opensource?
It is a fairly recent piece of software after the breakdown of PunBB. It will take a while to catch on, but it is a very good piece of software. It is not the fact that people don't like opensource, it is what the software offers that determines whether a person uses it or not.
Flux looks fine but it's obviously just punbb. I used punbb on 2 projects both did pretty well. However it didn't offer enough flexibility nor extendability. I use mybb which offers both and then some. And yes...mybb is open source.
