Yabb isn't too bad either. Invision is decent.

get the $180 vbull

lol, are you some kind of spammer trying to trick him? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Some of the biggest, most popular boards use phpbb. Just go to bigboards.com and see for yourself what software the big guys use and there will be your answer right there. VB is the most overpriced piece of software in existence. You'd have to be an idiot to pay for it and continue paying for it each year. If you have money to waste and really can't think of any way to spend it, then buy VB. You will still not have the best software, but you will have money spent.

:2 cents:

vb all the way. It is worth it.

$180 vbull is a one time fee. do it the right way. plus they have a great support forum.

phpBB is probably the most popular

phpBB if you want to be hacked.

Whichever forum script forces users to use the fucking search function before asking a question that has been answered repeatedly. I wish GFY would use that script.

Hands down

Vbulletin.com

2nd place I would say Invision Board


But after running 10 msg board vbulletin is the only way to go! PERIOD!

vBulletin is well worth the money.

phpbb :thumbsup

phpBB used to be really bad, but they've been catching up and are ahead of vbulletin now in some regards.

no phpBB!
Vbulletin ..

vbulletin. if you cant make $180 from a forum, why try to build one?

vbulletin+vbseo

:2 cents:

Powered by vBulletin

Anybody here who can install vb and vbseo (like fris said) and integrate a skin?
Buzz me.

you might be surprised that you can install it yourself. I didn't think I could, but I tried before contacting my managed hosting provider. It was easy. Didn't need them at all.

+1, VB has an insane amount of support and add-ons that are easy as hell to work with. It puts everything else to shame. There is no other excuse except being a cheapskate. :2 cents:

You should try http://www.phorum.org/

A lot of REAL big companies use that script, because its simple, fast and fairly secure (so far)
