you should add wbb2 to that list...

also openbb or wbb 1.x is the clostest you will get to vb for free

[Moonman]

I actually think that VB Lite (http://www.vbulletin.com/download/) is the closet to VB for free, cause it is made by the same company :p. But it really doesnt have many features so you should try Burning Board at http://www.woltlab.de/en/projects.php?id=1

It ain't the closest by far. Wbb is a complete copy of vb just with a horrible backend.

well i am still sticking by VBLite being the closest looking to VB, as it is made by the same company. :p

[Moonman]

yes, but it still looks like VB, although you are right, wbb is pretty much a rip off, just with a crappier backend.

[roly]

vB Lite was made for people to see if vB worked on thier servers before they purchased it

Actually, in his first post, he just basically copied what you said and reworded it. I think he justly deserves to be called a spammer. :(

With RC-4, i upgraded not long after i posted that post, phpbb2 (Full-Release Version) is going to be good, pity they dont have anymore styles besides the default 1!

I've got to cast my vote for Ikonboard. It uses CGI and a DBM database, so you don't need to know SQL. http://www.ikonboard.com. I'd bet you could install it in 30 minutes or so.

[Artimus]

It's fast enough for me.

[cheatpark]

Have you tried the other boards? Ikonboard may be fast enough for you and I respect that if you think its a good board but the others are much faster.

[GregT]

Free : phpbb2 w/ Nick's vB theme which looks nicer than some real vBs
Paid : vBulletin , the real thing is always better :)

[Seldimis]

PHP2 is better.
