They used to have vBulliten Lite but they discontinued it...i wish they still had it that would be awsome...but I think that your best bet would be InvsionFree: http://www.invisionfree.com/

IMO, IPB>phpBB>InvisionFree. I would recommend downloading the IPB 1.3 trial and setting it up on a webhost that has mySQL and PHP.
Why would you download IPB 1.3 when theres IPB 2 out already? @[email protected]

Because there aren't too many mods/skins for 2.0 yet (or at least that I've found). Plus I don't think a lot of those rules apply for 1.3.

SMF rocks. www.simplemachines.org I use it on my forums, and Greggy uses it on his new one too since he found out about it from me. :P


"One reason why mathematics enjoys special esteem, above all other sciences, is that its laws are absolutely certain and indisputable, while those of other sciences are to some extent debatable and in constant danger of being overthrown by newly discovered facts."
Albert Einstein

"What science can there be more noble, more excellent, more useful for men, more admirably high and demonstrative than mathematics."
Benjamin Franklin

"Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty – a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of paintings or music, yet sublimely pure and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show."
Bertrand Russell

phpBB...Can I host that on my Angelfire?
There's not even php and mySQL on Angelfire, besides there one of the crappiest hosts around.
