What's the best forum software/hosting site?
Ummon:
Yes, I am thinking of unleashing my full evil upon the unsuspecting citizens of the net....and am curious where I might base my operations.
Thoughts, preferences, speculations on where is/might be good?
RayB:
Well, phpBB is good, but seems to always come under fire of hacker exploits. This board runs SMF and seems to be fairly solid (right Saint?).
VBulletin's a good one too, but will run you about $90 a year.
MonMotha:
phpBB2 was trash. phpBB3 is decent, though the code is still a little ugly if you plan on hacking up your site's installation. phpBB3 hasn't had too many security problems (no worse than the others, really).
SMF isn't bad, but it doesn't have the following (and therefore support/mod base) of phpBB.
VBulletin is not bad, but I don't think it's worth paying for over phpBB3 or SMF. There's also IkonBoard and Invision Power Board. IkonBoard is ancient and total garbage near as I can tell. I don't have much experience with IPB, but some people swear by it, or at least did back in the phpBB2 days.
Ummon:
Cool, thanks.
Dr Zero:
I have been with Lunarpages for years and have never had a problem their prices are good and they give lots of free software all you have to do is turn it on and use it.
They have popular forums and if you are into photography they have picture album software also.
