Best Forum Software

Basically the two wisest and most popular choices and most popular types of forum software are:

1) VBulletin (normally with the Search Engine Friendly URLs). This is what Name Pros uses. All-in-all this adds up around $500 but its worth it over the long-term.

2) Simple Machines, with the SEO4SMF addon, from Webmaster Talks. This is what we use at www.INF

I'd be interested in peoples opinions about this.

Am I missing something else that is the equal of these two?

Is VBulletin worth the $500?

Invision Power Board (IPB) is pretty good.

see ekal the concept of the forum is pretty good,it goint to become very big big so investing in vb is really worth

vB or IPB are probably the best; word of warning: stay away from MercuryBoard and UseBB - tons of bugs and errors in them.
