Vbulletin is the best ever forum script and a 2nd hand license did cost me $90 and there are several free mods to make it best. You can get a complete n great forum like this forum using this script which is not free.

I use SMF and at the moment I'm pretty happy with it. I haven't use Adverting on my forum so its the best for the moment. I want to run a phpBB3 forum and see how it works.

I've 2 forums one 2 years old and other 6 mths old.

One is running IPB and other phpbbPlus.

I'm admin on other 2 forums both using IPB.

Have never used phpbbPlus. Is it a paid version of phpBB ? whats the difference between phpBBPlus and phpBB ? This is the first time I heard about it.

I started to run a forum, but really got tired of talking to myself. It takes a significant amount of work and advertising to get a forum going. I decided time was spent better doing other work. I was running PHPBB2 at the time.

I used to have a bunch of forums. I sold all of them then recently made a new one because I felt kind of lost without one. lol
I've always either used phpBB, MyBB or vBulletin. Out of all of them, I think my favourite was phpBB 2.

I've been running forums for many years now and I have used vBulletin 95% of the time. I used phpbb once. There is simply no other forum software that works as well as vBulletin in my opinion.

I actually have run a forum before. it was good. There's a lot of work to be done for it to be successful, and have members join, but if you really want the forum, then it is worth it.
