whats the best forum script other than SMF or phpBB please reply

[ASPX.King]

in my mind, there is no one best forum script.
mybb is good, if you're using joomla then fireboard is also good. vbulletin is good for large commercial forums, (that's what x10 uses) and there's a small one by the makers of wordpress, i don't remember what it's called, but it isn't very good.

it's really just a matter of personal opinion.

It also depends on your coding expertise and level to modify functions, skin the forum, and add plugins etc.,

A few of the forums for wordpress aren't THAT bad, they just need to be worked on...

I would say that phpbb3 and SMF are the better free forum software packages. Are you talking about forum software packages which you have to pay for or free forum software packages?

I personally prefer SMF because of the package management system.

SMF is the best opensource forum script.
If you want a paid one, you can go for vBulletin

If you only want just a forum phpbb3 will do well.
But if you are looking further i will recommend e107 forums.
You can also integrate phpbb3 with e107.So you get the double benefit of e107 and phpbb3.Also you can go for alternate user authentication between e107 and phpbb3.The only difficulty is that its not so simple to integrate phpbb3 with e107.But being a user i will say its powerful and it has double the benefit of e107 and phpbb3.
Or if you have enough money go for Vbulletin,as you see x10 rocks with v-bulletin.

I use MyBB which I personally think is the best free forum script. If you want to pay for one I suggest IPB. MyBB is great simply because the styling was easy to customize. There are some great plugins such as My Plaza which is a points system and has some great features that I really liked. So all in all I think of you want a free script I suggest MyBB but if you want to buy one it will be IPB.

I like vB and IPB. IceBB is somewhat based off IPB.
