What Forum Software do you use?

[RageD]

I am just asking everyone right now, because I am thinking of what I should get... I am thinking about VB but I don't know if I wanna pay $100/year for a license...

[Veolus]

It's $85 not $100

I use vBulletin, IPB and SMF

 

[Segate]

my favorite is vBulletin. But i'm using phpBB

 

[.Matt]

I use IPB.

 

[GeneCosta]

I like to be a rebell and play with MercuryBoard, BurningBoard, WBC, and other softwares.

Still trying to gather enough money to afford Vbulletin though. Phpbb is what I started out with, and I'll never turn my back on it.

Not too big of a fan of Simple Machines.

 

[RageD]

Yes, I am not a big fan of SMF... I love VB, & IPB... Don't really like MB, how about pun, that any good?

 

[GeneCosta]

I could see why people are drawed away from Mercury. The template system requires for a lot of chance. The staff is great, if you ask me.

Pun is good if you're looking for something simple and fast.

Mybboard.com is going to release Gold in the next few months. Many people claim that MBB is a "future competitor with the top 3", but I'm not sure. It seems some of the staff came from XMB (which scares me, heh) and there's still a lot of bugs. Also, from what I've seen, Gold isn't going to be that big of an improvement.

Maybe because it's not that popular yet? :lol:

I agree, MyBB is like the "free" version of vBulletin. It's sure to be a hit when gold is released

 

[tansks]

I use phpbb, but I will try mybboard.

 

[Wildchild22]

im trying to get mybboard up but im having a few problems with mysql on my server, so its not going too well

 

[tansks]

I think better to wait for their gold version.

 

[lupus2k5]

PunBB is nice and simple, but there's not enough options. I like it more that phpBB though, and it's less SQL to deal with. I was given vBulletin from my friend in exchange that I make his site.

 

[RageD]

hmm... Tell me more about this mybb, sounds nice... What is the appx. release date? (For Gold)

-RageD

 

[Amnezia]

i will never use IPB after seeing the code in the earlier open source versions. It was a mess, there were unsanitised variables in half the sql queries. i heard its better now that they're charging for it but the name still conjurs up bad images.

 

[hbalagh]

i use vb, phpbb, and fusionbb

November-December, last I heard.

 

[unknowngiver]

IPB and phpbb
Trying to earn enough money for Vbulletin :p but now i m goign to try out mybb

 

[LeetPCUser]

I use phpbb because it is free and you can get a lot of great styles for it. Start with this especially if you are starting out and don't have the balla dough.

i use vb, phpbb, and fusionbb

fusionBB eh? Never tried it. Is it a pretty decent board? :tri: Heh, I'll go and look into it. :gl:

 

[deu12000]

I just looked up fusionbb. It's located at http://fusionbb.com . The price looks pretty steep though considering it's more expensive than vbulletin and it's still in beta.
