vbulletin is my first favorite, i've seen a lot of vbulletin forums, they all look good with good mods and they all thrive easily

[M_Nabil]

I like Fusetalk http://www.fusetalk.net/. Also SMF is very good.

[diablo]

ipb i use now but I would rather have vb for the better sources of mods.

[LiNuX]

yea, lol this topic used to be a poll, after i converted, all polls went missing, :( but it really doesnt matter, i'll just have to open up new polls later lol, by the way for all those people that dont know what forum software this is now, its SMF 1.1 RC3. gonna try to upgrade to final version of SMF 1.1 later

Believe me, it's worth it. Big time.

I went through loads of free forum software, then I finally got vB. WOW!

[LiNuX]

oO, a vB owner lol, nice, i cant afford that yet lol, maybe after i save up then i can afford to pay for it, but i am working on getting one eventually

[Thor Erik]

vB isn't that good do i think, IPB is messy, so my heart is still at phpBB and Quezza(another full modded phpBB releases :p)
it's alot like vB just that it's free and it's better than the barebone phpBB :)

and btw:
SMF -> sux, bad look(looks old and crappy), not so good thread handeling(look in the source, 2-3 tweaks and it's alot better)
YaBB -> sux even more, uses WAAAAY to manny resources, bad looks, and bad thread handeling
fusetalk -> sux, expensive(ehm, 600andsomething$ for standard? wtf, get real it's not that good.), no support for the most used web language(php)(only .net and cfm)

lol so this forum sux (not sux meaning the forum, the look)? lol, how to make better then? u know i wanted to convert to phpbb in the first place, but the converters just screws up, i had to go with what i had lol

My favourites forum softwares are vbulletin and phpbb

I suggest trying out phpBB. phpBB 3 is by far the best forum software I’ve ever used, it’s open-source so it’s free to download and use. It’s simple and doesn’t include all the “unneccessary” features you speak off. It’s minimal. Vanilla doesn’t even come close to competing with phpBB, so yeah - give it a try.
