    P.S. keeping spammers off PHPbb is as simple as changing the register code to disallow Timezones of -12 Not had a spam registration since I did that. phpBB • View topic - Preventing Spam in phpBB3

    Use PHPBB here. Main reason is its very easy to integrate with joomla, mediawiki, our custom plugin database, mantis and our custom charts php site. Its all single sign on. Got all of this on a dedicated server with 16gb ram and an SSD drive. Its the quickest forum on the net I reckon

    I'm mostly responsible for a vb forum eve online corp, but it's a mess. Vbulletin v4. Person A held the hosting/ftp, now no longer with us, but occasionally contactable. Person B bought Vb and signed up to it with his personal email, mega fail and now mostly AFK. Me left to administer the forums as the only person vaguely techie that's still active. Person B reappeared, ninja'd in some updates, and broke every skin and addon in the process. I've lost smilies! Now they've gone again. Can't get support without vb account, cant download updates to skins/addons without it, cant apply them without the access to either ftp and the vb account. Used to use phpbb. It had less community stuff and features, but I found it was a cleaner easier system to manage. I've found vbulletin a bit bloated, and some things like moderation priviledges are difficult to manage. But it has greater potential.

    I have seen a few forums with SMF but I have never used it myself. I used to use phpBB back in the day but not revisited in a while but I believe v3 is supposed to be good. I do like vbulletin but the developer documents could be ALOT better but EduGeek should be knocking out a few mods on vbulletin.org for it.

    I use SMF Home of SMF: Free PHP and MySQL forum software for both of my forums. It does everything that I need and seems to be secure. Easy to install and update. I have tried phpBB but it was difficult to keep out the spammers and the updates went horribly wrong. It may have been improved since I last used it.
