MyBB is a good open source alternative if you prefer FOSS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucasJosivan Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Test them all. Log into the forums with the different platform and see which one you like best. What pleased me the most was the IPS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marumi Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 ips 4+ it's easy to use, for admins and users. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

talibanaa Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 If you want something free phpbb3 or to be pirate like me IPB 4.3.4 the best ot the market :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decon Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 My personal go to favorite is definitely Invision Power Suite, usually pretty stable, easy to use, highly customizable, and very optimized. The downside being that because it is so great, a lot of forums use it. MyBB is a great free alternative, however, I find that it isn't as easy, and most customization pieces seem to be universal and most themes look very similar or overused. I have no interest in vBulletin, it seems to be the least popular of the forum softwares I have found. XenForo is pretty good, but I think they push updates extremely slow.

kudloc Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Invision Power Suite is taking forum software for another level - i used to set up XenForo and vBulletin but IPS is just preety simple to use, their UX is just godlike, go for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo187 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 IPS is indeed the best! It's the ultimate out of the box solution in my opinion. But if you want something more "from scratch" then use mybb. If you are an developer it's pretty awesome because you can do so much with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanting to have a forum is only half a deal. Also, for the proper functioning of your forum, you need to know if your hosting complies with IPS requirements. Second, it is a variety of plugins, applications, and additions that you need to solve certain tasks. IPS has everything to meet any needs. The main thing to install is to select only the modules you need. Disconnect the rest. Well continue to develop! Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithMan Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Little late but stil ... if you going with gaming community IPS hands down, best looking themes with wow factor plus you can set up shoutbox as chat so you can avoid discord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
