Basically we are looking at creating a forum primarily for our customers, but also for everyone else who wants to join. I am looking at getting some input from other members of this community about forum software, what works and what doesn't.
So far I have been looking at:
commercial:
- vBulletin
- IP.Board
- XenForo (they are in a lawsuit with vBulletin so I'm not sure what will happen in the end)
free/open source:
- Vanilla Forums
- phpBB
- myBB
- Simple Machines Forum v. 2
- FluxBB - thanks @telephone
Please make your recommendations and suggestions, and I am also looking for anyone who wants to share their experience with forum software that they have worked with, maybe recommend something that I haven't tried yet.
Thank you,
Marc
