SMF
I liked VBulletin because it is a semi-standard out there across professional websites, however – I don’t care to pay for it. PLUS – I did use it once for one of my websites (as a leased license) and after the lease ended and I forgot about it – they went in and removed ALL my database. Which means all posts and content were stolen. I’ll never use them again.
phpBB is ok, but I think that the SMF guys are more pro-active on updates to the software and there are a shit-ton of mods ready to use for it.
I like vBulletin best, but phpBB3 is very good – and because it’s free I tend use that more often.
Thanks for the votes guys!!
The main purpose behind this is for when I add a forum to my site when I get it up and running. As far as functionality goes which is easier to deal with? and which requires the least maintenance?
Being a coder myself, PHPBB offends every quality-control sense that I have.
The code is an absolute abomination, consisting of hacks on top of hacks on top of shoddy code. This is also why PHPBB has had numerous security vulnerabilities over the years, many of which allow complete access to your server. (Google for something like ‘phpbb hacked by’ and you’ll find plenty of forums that have been hacked)
A vBulletin license is $160 which is peanuts compared to how much can be made from a decent forum. Or even compared to how much can be made from a small forum.
I do use phpbb for a couple of hobby sites, but there’s no way I’d cut corners for a proper forum on a site designed to make me good money.
I´ve been using SMF but you need to switch the search engine friendly urls on so make sure you´re not hosting on godaddy becaues it won´t work there. I also heard PunBB is pretty good.
As for me vBulletin is better than phpBB. But I use phpBB, because it’s free
There is a very promising new forum out there that has many of the features of vBulletin but is free, we are thinking of using this instead of phpBB which is a nightmare from a programer’s point of view, you can check it out at http://www.nextbbs.com
If you have the cash go vBulletin, otherwise, phpBB has many mods that can be added including SEO mods. It also has a mod installer called Easy Mod that allows you to easily update the whole installation.
One thing I should recommend is that when tinkering with phpBB: back it up regularly.
This will help if you add a mod and something goes wrong and you have to roll back to old code.

Hi Guys,
Which forum do you prefer and why?
Hey Ben,
I have experience in phpBB (in 2010) and am currently using MyBB. Difference is that phpBB is for more experienced users (I was a newbie however) and is less userfriendly in my opinion.
I currently use MyBB on my forex forum | binary options forum and am very happy with it. I took me just minutes to get it online and fill the board with categories and sections and stuff.
My advise is to install them both in a subdomain or subdirectory and to crash test them.
