Another vote for vBulletin. These days phpBB have (or had?) a tons of security hole in it, phpBB worm...

Manansala · 03-05-2005, 08:49 PM

Whichever is supported by your host. VBulletin has been giving good feedbacks lately. There's always phpBB.

vBulletin

Whichever your target demographic has grown used to.

For example, a webmaster resource forum these days really should be done using VBulletin because that is the 'standard' so far as what we are all accustomed to, many use phpBB and Invision however, those types of board script tend to have a slight negative effect on the amount of 'posts' a forum gets because webmasters are more comfortable posting on a board where they have used the forum script before, they know how it works and dont have to learn hundreds of commands again.

That being said, VBulletin is also one of the better forum scripts around at the moment if you are looking for a 'threaded' board.

VB is best , but you can get free scripts also.
Invision board is the best one, and phpbb is the best support

Odin88 · 03-05-2005, 11:35 PM

Rich I got a VB license I'll send your way if you want it. Only a few months left on it though. Just drop me an icq.

aaron · 03-05-2005, 11:38 PM

anyone know any good vbul designers?

icq 293644144

Doc911 · 03-05-2005, 11:38 PM

vB is by far the best script out there. None even come close.

If your cheap then phpBB is okay but look to get hacked and check for security updates regularly

IceMaster · 03-06-2005, 12:17 AM

Vbulletin is the best if you are going to pay. I would take phpbb if you are not going to pay for a forum program.

Farang · 03-06-2005, 03:24 AM

vBulletin +1

AdPatron · 03-06-2005, 03:28 AM

Manowar · 03-06-2005, 03:29 AM

Do you use VB? I am guessing not because if you did then you would know that VB has had numerous security patches the past two months as well... matter of fact a lot of users were complaining that they had to update so much in such a short time. My board is currently two versions back because it's such a pain to upgrade with all of my modifications.

Yep. Just check for security updates frequently as there have been a couple. But for a free board its fucking great with free skins, etc.
