Best Forum Software

[alizarki]

Once Again i started This Thread with my opinion about Forum Software

Free Ones


For Beginners
Give Smf a Try It So Easy To Operate And Modding


For Medium Ones
Give Phpbb a Try If You Have Used Smf And Need More Security To Your Site


For Advance Ones
Give IPB1.3/1.2 A Try If You Want Features

Paid Ones

For Beginners & Medium Ones
You Must Try IPB 2.1 It is a Bit Of Expensive (180$) but it is so easy to mod , the admin panel and the installation process(3Steps) is as easy as a,b,c

For Advanced Users
For Advanced Users Who are Familiar To Php And Mysql and can fix bugs & errors on your site easily give a try to Vbulletin
I Know it is Difficult To Install (13Steps) And The Admin Panel Is Very Difficult Than IPB But it is not too much difficult than you think (even it is very easy to me )

Whats Your Opinion?

vBulletin all the way .. I won't change my mind ever and ever !

 

[liam_d]

Take out the 1.3/1.2 IPB options since its illegal for people to be sent them, people can only use them if they got them direct from IPS.

And i would put SMF as medium and phpbb as begginer.

vbulletin all the way. I wont even register at a forum if its not running vbulletin.

NamePros would never go with IPB because it namepros will go slower and slower !

[Crabby]

You think that's pathetic? How about having an 'idiot list' in your sig. Childish little boy!

Go home, i have an idiot list to show who i think is an idiot for thinking idiot things. At least my first post on a forum wasnt to call someone childish, and we all known you are jon on another name.

Do you think that i am idiot !! ?

I dont wanna argue OR fight.It's your wish ! Add me to idiot list or genius list.I dont know you... !! grrr

Thanks
Virtua

 

[Crabby]

Would you like to take that up with the admins, because they can check my IP? And you can see when I've registered. See, it's kind of an idiotic thing to not research before you make allegations :p

By the way, the fact you have an idiot list just makes you look like an idiot yourself, because no-one wants to know who you've got petty grudges against.

 

[liam_d]

Well you are either jon or one of his sad mates he got to sign up to bash me in this thread because im making a point that someone is an stupid for running away from a forum if its not vb.

And sorry virtua didnt mean it like that just you have no evidence to show ipb is slower than vb, but you are right it will probably never happen.

 

[Virtua]

STOP GUYS

Don't fight.I dont want this thread to be a fight thread ! Stop fighting !

 

[Crabby]

Uhm, check my register date, mate.

You're digging yourself a hole. You haven't actually responded to any of my arguments, 'cause you know you're wrong. Good bye!

 

[Virtua]

One of the evidence that proves vB is better than IPB !

vB is Fast, very easy to configure. Template Conditionals are very powerful along with the usergroup settings and much more features then IPB.

I have one more .. let's continue the discussion :yell:

IPB is fast, easier to configure than vb (the admin panel is easier to use less cluttered), by template conditionals do you mean you can do php if's and loops in templates? IPB also has usersgroup settings...so i currently see no evidence for faster speed hehe :P

 

[alizarki]

Yeah i agree vb is fast but it becomes slow when we install mods
and ipb is quite more fast and it remains fast even with mods than vb

vB had introduced a lot of features before then IPB 2.1 and it was great ! IPB is introducing features like rate the thread and admincp permission now in their latest version while vB is adding more and more features in it beta ! vB have much more security then IPB and is unhackable(without flodding thing)..vB have much more cool skins and a good variety.vB looks professional then IPB and IPB just looks like for using in FUN DISCUSSION Communites !

need more :P

 

[alizarki]

i agree too
i think vb is perfect for company / support forums
and ipb is best for personal or fan site forums
