The best bulletin board? It's all a matter of opinion.

Personally, I prefer phpBB 2.0..., even when I compared phpBB2 to vBulletin 2.0, the phpBB 2.0 code was written a LOT better than vBulletins. But it's not finished, and people who don't know much about php in general shouldn't use it.

Anyway, of all of the forums on that list, I would vote for iKonBoard 3.0.

Does only ikonboard support no database?

Does only ikonboard (2.0) support text log instead of a database?

Does only vBulletin has vote function?

,vbb is the best for a fee.
and iB is the best for perl and no database!

Thk! Indeed, I know iB has MySQL support now already. However, it supports text log is a plus for me since I have some web space without database support.

Ok, That is my turn. I vote phpBB for its mult-language support.

"AdminCP -> SQLClient, a multi purpose SQL management tool (By: Infection)"

Nope. Wrong person.


The text log files aren't really secure and would be easily corrupted. Anyway, Cheers.
 
I have only user expirience with vB, but it's the best from what I've used.
XMB, phpBB and Burning Board are all verry good free boards, and all of them come close to vB.
 
I agree. Nothing comes close to Burning Board's badness. ;)

I could post another thesis on why it sucks. But I'm sure nobody wants that.
 
BTW, Conker's Bad Fur Day rules! :D

In order of preference:

Burning Board
phpBB
Ikonboard
OpenBB

Well, nothing comes close to Burning Board, enough said.
Actually, everything is better than Burning Board: Ikonboard, XMB Forum, YaBB and PHPBB.


GRIN - Nice Kobe you've got huh?
