Best forum?

[ChristinaInCanada]

Hi everyone,

What is the best free forum code in your opinion? I own frugality.ca and since it is a topic near and dear to my heart, I've decided to create a fun forum for Canadians to talk about frugality.

Thanks!
Christina

[dotcomgiant]

phpbb is always preferrable.

 

[CompuManiac]

phpbb with some good mod will serve the purpose !

 

[stevey]

phpbb but make sure you keep it upto date as its a target for alot of script kiddies

 

[jdk]

I would have to agree phpbb

 

[ChristinaInCanada]

Agreed, but the best paid forum is vBulletin IMHO

For free forums, phpBB is okay. I thinking www.simplemachines.org is starting to look nice, though.

Is vBulletin worth the price? I have a designer working on a forum for me right now, and I asked her and she thought phpBB was just fine...but I'd like to hear what YOUR opinion is.

 

[GiantDomains]

Yes, it's better!

vBulletin - for sites you care about
phpBB - for quick development

You could always start with phpbb and move up to vbulletin.

vBulletin is the way to go.. Especially with the new release. Some nice things on there :approve:

Thanks guys. I appreciate your opinions a lot.

I think I'll do that - start with phpbb and then switch to vBulletin. vBulletin is easier to moderate, isn't it? (I've had problems moderating phpbb forum before...)

What's the point of that? Cut to the chase and save yourself some headaches. Go vb.

I agree, unless money is a problem

Money sort of IS a problem. But, I appreciate all the input here.
