Hmm, I did look on their website after I posted. I took interest in the "Community Framework" have you used it?

Thats for developing your own forum with their functions (its not forum)

Re: vBulletin or SMF? - Famalamalam - 02.08.2011

I realize that, lol. What I meant was, is it any good? To develop your own forum.

Well if you have experience with web coding (HTML,PHP,CSS,JS...ect) than its awesome tool

SMF is the best one for free
vBulletin is harder to use and costs like 100Ђ!

Re: vBulletin or SMF? - Mean - 02.08.2011

I forgot to mention: in SMF, the good thing is you can "play" with the forum code.

This. Just take a look at my website. Fresh out-of-the-box install of IPB just installed. I merely changed the logo around a little bit (licensed version, yes).

I played with a nulled IPB on my localhost a few weeks back, I didn't really like it, didn't feel right.

Re: vBulletin or SMF? - Calgon - 02.08.2011

vBulletin as it's what I'm used to, otherwise I'd go for IPB, it's much better than SMF or any of the other alternatives.

Re: vBulletin or SMF? - Scenario - 02.08.2011

I am not a big fan of vBulletin as it's administration interface is (for me) difficult to navigate through. I have used IPB (Invision Power Board) in the past and had no complaints. Quite frankly, if I had the money to purchase the latest version you best believe I would! I currently use SMF (Simple Machines) on my forum- it does the job so I have no complaints. Although it has a ton of missing features compared to vBulletin and IPB. phpBB on the other hand is quite horrible. I use it as a "PD forum" for a server simply because it's free and allows groups to be board moderators.

vB/IPB/MyBB are bests

Re: vBulletin or SMF? - Famalamalam - 02.08.2011

Personally, I love SMF. It can be modified to extremes, anything missing from SMF that you can find in other paid-for solutions such as Vbulletin, can be made yourself (as SMF is completely open source now after the release of 2.0 Gold

Re: vBulletin or SMF? - Kingunit - 02.08.2011

MyBB is also good, alot of options and plugins.
