just kidding MyBB would probably be the best bet. |

Now that we have gotten that out of the way, I'll bash everything you've said. Firstly, I think we need to stop drawing parallels between HTML and PHP. HTML is a static client-side markup language. PHP is a dynamic sever-side language that generates HTML. They are nothing alike, and we shouldn't treat PHP like a harder version of HTML. As much as I dislike PHP, it is in general more consistent than HTML, and it is not held hostage by the companies that produce browsers, so I personally think PHP is easier than HTML. Many would disagree with me. As far as server-side languages go. PHP is pretty horrible. I prefer Python. I like to think of PHP as the Visual Basic of server-side languages; it is easy to learn and great for business people, but real programmers will see that it's full of crap. If you need to learn one of these languages, I strongly recommend Python over PHP. I learned PHP first, and it really screwed up how I think about certain concepts, seeing that they do everything wrong. If you start with Python, you'll see how to do it right, then you can step down and realize when PHP is being stupid. |

MyBB is currently the best forum out there. It's coding practices and team structure is horrible, though.

so should i stick with forumotion or change to mybb? i'm not very experienced with codes and stuff, so which would be better for me?
|
Forumotion is a host. MyBB is a software. They are different. Forumotion HOSTS the softwares phpBB2, phpBB3, PunBB, and IPB. Although some might argue IPB is better than MyBB, it is always best to host your own software, so first I suggest you get some form of host. Then, as far as free software to install to your server, I'd recommend MyBB, even if I don't believe in their philosophy.
|
MyBB is one of the best choices so far as a software, but I'd stick with forumotion for a while as I can't really get a host or a server. I'd use the school's as I know where it is (under my nose for 7 months, honestly!) and I have good common sense and advanced knowledge with computing, but... nah.
Maybe I could use this little piece of garbage when I get a laptop? |
Oh and which one is better (free use): AwardSpace of FreeHostia?
|
I personally like X10hosting especially since it has Fantastico auto installer with MyBB in CPanel.
|
my BB is pretty good and theres this other forum thingy too um lefora.com i think it's called.
|
Neither. That's the real answer. :)
|
It's kinda sad that websites based around Pokemon aren't really flourishing like they use too. I remember when I first started my website, way back, there were tons of other people making Pokemon websites as well.
|
Forumotion is a great host as it's free and easy to use. (in my opinion)
vBulletin (pre 4.0) is the greatest paid host. |
vBulletin's software, not a host.
|
It can also host your forum no?
|
No,you have to find a host and upload your forum there. vBulletin has no hosting available. http://www.vbulletin.com/
|
oh i didnt know that! thx for the info!
|
It's extremely easy to find vB hosting though... look through the vb.org forums and you'll likely find 100s of offers.
|
but which is the best free hoster overall for a site?
|
We don't know, we pay real money.
Anyways I'm excited for PJN to re-open. All this 5th gen news <3 |
I thought vB was... never mind.

I'm presently making a GB/C ROM hacking forum, and I'd like to know if I should choose either MyBB or phpBB. I'm not caring too much about administration and ease of use. I've tried both of them out, and really, I have no preferences. So I'm generally looking for the amount of resources for themes and add-ons.
Also, I'm looking for a website that will host my forum. Currently I'm using www.zymic.com, but I'd like to know my options and if there is anything better out there. Thank you ^_^ |
The phpBB community is much bigger... at least last time I checked. So you'll find a more varied selection of mods & skins.
