What forum do you like the most?

Personally, i use phpbb mainly because i started with that. I messed around with IPB today and it looks good. Vbulletin costs so thats not really in my list. So i'd have to say; for very good first impressions.

Invision Power Board...

EDIT: The poll title dont want to change, im asking the question in title and in post.

I like Invision Power Board because it's flexible and easily modded. Not only that, it is easy to use and has some great features such as warnings and such. I haven't used vBulletin much, actually, I only go on it here and HostMatrix, and have never installed it, so I cant' say much about that. I just think IPB is a lot better than PHPBB because it is more feature packed and easier to use.

I agree, it is very much more flexible and i dont really like reading through 100 lines of jibberish to install a mod for phpbb, and infact any forum.

But when you say ipb is easier to use. Dont you find the admin CP very clogged up and complicated?
I mean, the actual forum is very clean and well layed out even before and skin mods but the Admin CP is all bunched into one space. By no means at all; phpbb is not nice to start off with; It just looks too common.

I think the Admin CP is pretty well organized actually. Yes, it may be crunched together, but it's so that you don't have to scroll through a bunch of useless things that you don't need to use at the moment. People have different opinions ....

IPB is the perfect choice for me. It's features rich, user-friendly and its the first forum that i used. its a pity they have gone paid though.

I like vBulletin the best, but phpBB is great for being free

Ic3CoLd · 21-04-2005, 12:16

I forgot about IPB going paid :P

Darn people, I really liked that forum, I may have to switch to PHPBB :o

Death001 · 21-04-2005, 13:04

i think that IPB is the best its easy to customise and it looks good

Departed · 21-04-2005, 22:28
