Been thinkin!

[punkie90]

i've been thinkin about something! i have used proboards and invision free oards.. What is some more free forums..

 

[Fire Master]

there is conforum's boards to. That is what i use

 

[punkie90]

isn't it the same as proboards?

 

[Cherrim]

It's a different host, I suppose, but it seems to use the same forumware (I made up a word. XD) as Proboards.

 

[Alakazam]

PHP BB, YaBB, Ikonboard, Invision

 

[Stinger]

PHPBB2 is probably the best free one around.

 

[hydrobat]

Ikonboard and YaBB aren't that bad either but PHPbb2 is still the best yea *agrees*

 

[Shinji Mekamori]

Ikonboard and YaBB run off of CGI, wasting a ton of resources. I'd never use them.

I say Invison and phpBB2 are the best.

 

[punkie90]

ya, but with phpbb2 don't u have to download something?

 

[Cherrim]

Yeah. You have to download the files from http://www.phpbb.com and install them on your own host (which needs to support a MySQL database and PHP). I didn't like phpBB at all... I found it hard to make my way around the admin panel. x_x

VBulletin*
EzBoard
Exocrew

(*= Must Pay for this board)

 

[Haruka]

EZBoard is bad... It's just poor... Use InvisionFree if you don't have a host.

 

[punkie90]

i know but wut can i use to have phpbb?

a good one!..?

 

[Dizzy]

Proboard and Conforums are just Opposite of each other Pro and Con Board and Forum... ya

lol
Well you really should use invision, its very popular, easy to use and its Free of course, you dont even need a host like Haruka said.

 

[punkie90]

Ya! I See now. But.. Dunno! I like proboards a lttle more! ( its because i don't know html )

 

[Arcanine]

Proboards is good if your starting out, but thay will not let you do anything much with it.

 

[punkie90]

i know! but wuts the diff of ipb and pro?

A lot, IPB you can add more ranks then whats there, Proboards you cant. IPB you can turn off posts in a forum if you want, Proboards you cant. IPB you can have more then one layout, Proboards you cant. IPB you can add stuff to the Profile, Proboards you cant. And theres a lot more stuff too.

What do you mean more than one layout?

Well with Proboards there is only one layout, but with IPB you can have more then just that one. So members can pick the layout thay like best. Like here on PC you can pick the layout you like best.
