What Version.

Well currently we have Phpbb3 but some people think it sucks. I have set up a poll so please vote on wich version you think we should use.

Phpbb2
Phpbb3
Punbb
Invision

I don't know if I've ever been on a forum with PunBB or Invision. I doubt it.

And as for phpBB2, if I have been on a forum with it, I never noticed a difference. So I would say stick with phpBB3, or just go to phpBB2.

Although, I kinda want to see PunBB and/or Invision, so I can know if I like them better.

So I won't vote.

I voted for Punbb.

I hope alot of people vote.

O.O What? XD

I guess you don't understand any of this JD.

^^; Nope

Well then this topic isn't for you.

Err, Add Zetaboards to the list please.

Thats not available with Forumotion

I voted Invision solely from personal bias.

I like Zetaboards better, but if we go to Zetaboards, we'll have to completely switch. URLs and everything. And register again... and bla bla bla

PunBB is smaller, scalable, and is easier to customize, but it doesn't have as many features as PHPBB. It has a simpler admin panel. However, it doesn't have polls, which is a rather large setback considering there's a polls forum here.

Invison takes the cheese of being the most customizable forum version IMO, but it's quite complex. Some things require PHP knowledge, and is a bit harder to manipulate around.

I'd go with PHPBB3 since it outclasses PHPBB2 and since it's a later version, means you have less of a chance of getting completely hacked. PHPBB has bloated code (which doesn't really matter since the forum isn't running on a server that you own), but it's faster, has support for older browsers, and is a lot easier and simpler to use. It's open source, too. It's not as customizable as Invision by a long shot, but there are PHPBB hacks out there that you can install. For an admin who isn't a total geek with computer stuff, PHPBB is my suggestion.

Phpbb3. Its the best in my opinion!

i voted for phpbb3

Wow I just read some stuff on the internet and now I think Phpbb2 and Punbb suck.

Alright is final. Phpbb3 it is.

BTW, why were you wanting to know? Don't we already run on Phpbb3?

He was wondering if we should stay with phpBB3 or switch to another.

As far as I know, the site is running smoothly, do we really need to switch? I know the vote has been cast, but I see no reason for a vote to ever have been taken.

I locked this btw so I don't know why you guys keep posting in this.
