Favourite Forum Software

[Sam1]

What do you consider your favourite and why?

I would say I prefer Mybb because in my opinion you can customize it and get the same benefits as Xenforo AND it's free. If you were to spend the same amount buying a Xenforo license on contests and other promotion, you'd have a quite active forum going...

I like PHP-Nuke's BBtoNuke

I simply love xenforo. For me its almost a perfect forum software. Pretty light on the server, great look and feel, out of the box seo, and more.

BTW I am a SMF & MyBB fan too. imo there are a lot to improve on both softwares. In SMF the update cycle and in MyBB the ACP, overall look and feel etc!

I think Mybb comes close to Xenforo in terms of functionality but it's design needs a LOT of improvement!

SMF fan here I love it but the SMF 2.0.2 i s a bit unstable which made me a bit angry and wanting to get a paid software like XenForo

XenForo is my new favorite, followed by IP.Board. And I also like MyBB a little.

Xenforo is great but the support is the worst I have seen.

I've used vBulletin, xenForo, IPB and phpBB and I have to say I personally prefer xenForo. It's easy to customize, create add-ons and it does what I need, . I like MyBB themes but I've never attempted to create a MyBB style so I can't compare it to other forum software. All in all, xenForo is my favourite, otherwise I'd be using a different forum software for my latest forum,

My favorite is xenForo. it is light weight, easy to use, and has awesome features!

 

[shadowslight]

As its probably obvious by now... My two favorite softwares are phpBB and vB

IPB, most experience I've had with a forum other than IF and ZB. These XenForo and MyBB forums are all sort of new to me. Not the fact that I've never been on one before but because I've never made one.

XF! When I first discovered XF I was a bit weary and thought it would fail like a few others, but after a month or two I really began to fall in love with it. I see it EVERYWHERE now.

 

[shadowslight]

On that note... XF is new to me but from a user perspective, I like it

 

[Southern Comfort]

I'm starting to like XF the best, just because it seems pretty user friendly. That and it isn't soooo different from other softwares where it just feels weird. Plus the themes are purdy sweet.

Xenforo, and here's why: http://www.adminforums.org/threads/why-i-prefer-xenforo-to-all-the-rest.27363/

For paid; vBulletin.
I had a lot of experience with it and the customization abilities were amazing.
For free; myBB.
I love it and it's the best option I believe for free scripts.
phpBB is good too, but honestly the struggles I had learning how to customize it were too much for me to ever go back to it.

IP.Board, definitely. It's really the only one I'm used to so I may be a bit biased in that regard =p
