    Is it important to decide which forum software to go to if your forums is only about religion, philosophy, self-improvement, and nothing to do with making money? However, if it doesn't matter at all which forum software have these features (because that will help me make make my decision a lot quicker!):
    1. Can disable newly registered users from posting any new messages or anyone basically with the fastest way possible?
    2. Have newest Recaptcha
    3. Easy to upgrade to the newest forum software updates.

    Please inform me if you know the best forum software for me!

    Hi,

    Most of forum today have features you need ! You can choose free/purcharse forum. I think VBulletin is the best, however you have to pay every year for using.

    phpBB is highly recommended. It's 100% free and open source. There are loads of widgets with a huge support community.

    phpBB is very easy to install as it has a wizard. It takes only about 5 minutes to complete the setup and run. I have tried many forum software but non of those were better than phpBB.
