Forum software!

What is your favourite forum software and why?



Mine is mybb free.



And paid, gotta be IPB!

phpbb3 all the way you do so much more then any of the forums

Like what?

there is hundreds of mods you can add

I find PHPBB's mod site to be extremely hard to navigate, though.

SMF is the best I have used so far.

I use PHPBB! Curtsy of FreeForums.org!



@Tom! Would it be ok if can you PM me a link to PHPBB's MOD site?

Thanks!

Also, hosted forums aren't good if you plan to expand your forum. Start with free hosting, where you install the DB and upload PHPBB. It's not too complex, and allows you to download your host so you can switch software and move host. ;)

I use Phpbb3 which is used through forumotion. ForuMotion used phpbb3 in their wide range of forum versions and is highly recomended by me.

Unfortunately, I found this little tidbit out the hard way.Right now I am on a friends' server, and after several problems in the beginning, things are going quite well.
