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. ![:P](images/smilies/msn_tongue.gif) . 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 ![:)](images/smilies/msn_happy.gif)

Punbb is really fast ![:O](images/smilies/msn_surprised.gif) , il put that in my possible list ![:P](images/smilies/msn_tongue.gif)

So its either Phpbb or Mybb then, unless there is any others.

RE: Creating a Forum.
WowBB (not free)
By the way, I'm not recommending it to you, I'm just posting other solutions ![:P](images/smilies/msn_tongue.gif)
I still recommend MyBB.

Define fast ![:P](images/smilies/msn_tongue.gif)
The actual server might be fast (if you define fast as the time waiting for the page to load), but the actual software slow

RE: Creating a Forum.
I dont own any forums, but I would say myBB is the most user-friendly.

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 ![:P](images/smilies/msn_tongue.gif)
