I also use Ikonboard, since I can not find the diference in using a PHP script. I find the speed to be quite unnoticable, but then again I am not that observant.
Speed differences are more noticable on faster connections, not slower. With a faster connection you see the true speed differences -> the time it takes the server to load the pages.
If you're willing to fork over 160$, there is no better/faster board at the moment than vBulletin ( http://www.vbulletin.com ). That's something even the people at phpBB agree on. Version 2.0 is comming up and looking very promising.
If you want a free one, I strongly recommend phpBB which has great potential and a friendly group of coders (it's open source).
OH my god...blazeboard.....very good indeed.....
But back to the question...
FOR THE BEST ( THE BEST ) board it has to be vbulltine. And version 2 of it would just rule..but you might be put off by the price tag....
If you want a free one. Then my suggestion is ikonboard. Ok, yes may be others board such as blazeboard is going to be good. But ikonboard 3.0 is going to be so good and of course - FREE!!!
Ikonboard is asy to set up on non windows hosted server. You might have slight problem on windows onw. Bu the support fourms over there is always a quick place to ask.
i am currently taking a deeper look over blazeboard, may be it has the potential to bit ikonboard ^_^
bbhacks.com is the blazeboard site...blazeboard.com will be doing hosting for the bulletin boards this summer...by the way, jwdirect is part of mycool and we plan to converge all of our services together with a few new ones this summer...so you have something to look forward to.
