phpBB is alot more stable than vb ..... although, not to
in any way say that vb is bad -- that title has to go to
phpNuke which we also have alot of users using that
as well.
Overall, I'd rank phpBB and vbulletin as the first two
choices.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, the least recommended
would probably go to Yabb and IkonBoard. If you don't
have MySQL then maybe use Ikonboard but I'd avoid those if
you can.

In fact, I would be suspicious about that vB being hosted on your network; it could be warez...

You pay for VB mainly for the support. vB is far better in features too.Originally posted by spork
just out of curiosity, what is wrong with phpbb´s posting screen?
as for vB vs. phpBB vBulletin would have to win... they´ve got way more resources to spend on testing and bugfixing and everything... though i would personally prefer phpBB to a vB, it has all the features i need and its quite simple to manage...
because fws.net runs on a dedicated server.Originally posted by conkermaniac
Yes, but the features are generally not enough to run a very popular vB board. We would need about 8 of amz's highest-priced accounts just to run FWS.net.

I only dislike their posting screen, I simply hate it.Originally posted by conkermaniac
It's just very simple...Simple is generally a good thing (as it cuts down on resource usage), but it just looks so empty and featureless. I mean, everything else on the board is generally so detailed, but this post screen is ugly and doesn't match the rest of the board. I just don't know how to explain it; it doesn't look right somehow.
