O.P. Creating a Forum.
Well, i have been meaning to ceate a forum for a long time for a group of people on a bunch of forums. This isnt going to be one of those "Oh, every one has a forum so im going to create one" kind of thing, i already have 3 admins and 5 mods chosen. . I ust need opinions on what fourum service to use, i know theres Mybb and vbulletin, but i just want to know about other forum service thingys..
Any suggestions?
Also, how much bandwith would a forum Use with roughly 200+ regular Members?
Thanks in advanced.

RE: Creating a Forum.
- phpbb - a fairly popular package
- PunBB - not too widely known, very fast
- IPB - not free but a great package
- Vanilla - very ajaxy but the interface is a bit complicated
Personally I don't think vBulletin is very good, but MyBB is great

Punbb is really fast , il put that in my possible list
dont really like the vanilla one
So its either Phpbb or Mybb then, unless there is any others.

WowBB (not free)
By the way, I'm not recommending it to you, I'm just posting other solutions
I still recommend MyBB.

Define fast
The actual server might be fast (if you define fast as the time waiting for the page to load), but the actual software slow

I dont own any forums, but I would say myBB is the most user-friendly.
P.S IM me when you get it up!

RE: Creating a Forum.
Having used phpBB, vBulletin, SMF and IPB before, I personally would say use Invision Power Board. It is the most stable, easy to modify and professional system. They have a big company running it and have many other products coming out that integrate perfectly with it. There's also hundreds of free add-ons.
Just my opinion.

RE: Creating a Forum.
Just installed PunBB to test it on my server, but I miss features like split and merge and move.
(I know you can move entire threads but I meant on the post)
So I still recommend MyBB.
EDIT: Also the install of MyBB is easier
