tippy_102 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Most people usually just go with the forum software used on their favorite sites, but if I was going to do it all over again, I would.... Have a look at : http://www.opensourcecms.com/ under the "forums" tab so you can mess around with the back end of a variety of different types of forums. This will narrow down your list. Check the home sites for the forum software you like. Is it currently supported? Are their support forums active? Check the Vulnerability Database http://nvd.nist.gov/ to see if you made a really bad choice.

wildteen88 Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 If you are going to use a forum then don't go for phpBB. Unless you want to patch your forum every week or so. I would suggest using SMF (what we use). It is very good and easy to use. Another forum I would suggest is called MyBB.

curt22 Posted April 14, 2007 Author Share Posted April 14, 2007 Thanks for the help tippy_102 & wildteen88. I tried some of the demos on http://www.opensourcecms.com/ and I decided I'm going to use SMF.
