Elliot B. Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I believe phpBB is the most popular free forum software, but is it the best? EDIT: The software would need to have the user info. on the left of each post, like it does here on Neowin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

remixedcat Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Please note: they will not do offcial support for adult sites. hacking sites (of any type). They label you as "this user has been denied support" when you have tried to get official help and your site meets that criteria. It is a very nice free forum software package. however.

Tina Firefly Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Yeah that's one of the best, I'm on phpbb2 for my RPG forum. I've created it with Forumotion, the service and the support forum are absolutely awesome. If you wanna check out : www.forumotion.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nothing Here Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I have used SMF forever and a day for my sites. Yeah, I know. Most of you will poopoo it, but IMHO it's the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted November 20, 2012 Subscriber² Share Posted November 20, 2012 After spending many a year using free and premium forum software, I don't really think it actually matters a whole ton if all you want is to get a community started. phpBB and MyBB and pretty much all the others will do what you want them to do.
