Forum Software
Hi all,
I'm looking for some (preferably free) forum software that is similar to pcmech and is easy to setup. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance. |

Hi Statica,
Thanks for the reply: Whatever is better nowadays, I suppose it's gonna be either PHP or CGI? Thanks again. |

Yeah, I use ikonboard for my forum. Methinks it's ikonboard.com. There's a free version which is cool. Make sure you choose the option to host it yourself though or you are limited in what you can do.

The best I've used is phpBB (phpbb.com); I had used phorum (from phorum.org) but that was a few versions back. w-Agora is highly customizable (http://www.w-agora.net/en/index.php)
Check out: http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Script...rds/index.html for a repository of PHP based boards (or change it to whatever language you prefer). HTH |

PHPBB is the best free one and probably the closest to Vbulletin of any of them. Plus it has a lot of hacks and templates.

Another vote for phpBB, it's the best you'll find for free.

Hi
There is a bunch of softwares that you can use to build a forum Invision Power Board PHPBB Snitz vBulletin The best one I think is PHPBB since it is free, and easy to install and manage. |
