EfraimOfficial 0 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Since there are some people who don't like to spend on a Forum software. I would like to ask for your opinion if what is the better forum software MyBB or Phpbb you can also recommend me if there are more free forum software there is.

Tricky 239 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Well to be honest this question has been asked a lot. I think that mybb is the best option for free there are lots of plugins and mods but be aware that there will need be editing of templates ect. Phpbb is ok but then its another case of things just not working or not working well. But you could take a look at good old smf its been around the block but still has good mods and a great team keeping things up to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luki123 0 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 phpbb vs mybb Mybb is winner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l0lbug 1 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 I have used both. Personally i prefer MyBB, because there is probably more active community than phpbb. Also there are more cool templates for mybb, and they're mostly free. Since MyBB don't have that much feature and plugin like IPS, you can write yours easy, well if you know php, but it is much easier than develop something to IPS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilde said: phpBB is more secure than MyBB That ain't quite true phpbb has had its fair share of problems with security as have most ask an owner of a massive now closed war*z site. I think the main issue is a lot use mybb for nulled sites and still run 1.6 because a lot of the nulled sites fave mods are 1.6. like tabbed menu extra functions for newpoints. But iv now updated a lot of the plugins to 1.8 and am still testing for stability and indeed the sites security I think the age old rule is make sure you leave no holes open.

kevinexit 14 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 I was formally acquainted with mybb then.. but now I have no idea about mybb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICHIE 6 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 phpbb might be more secure but it's not hard to make mybb just as secure... or even more secure! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must agree mainly these days hacking ect is an open admin where a password has been leaked of a admin that is having a moment because the owner deleted one of his posts. I was fed up to the back teeth of mybb but then decided to give it another chance. I did also test phpbb and smf as to be honest the free software still stands up well against the big players and so it should we all need free if there was no free well you guys will be paying a lot more for your mods plugins ect. so on a whole Mybb is my choice but why not just try both its not going to cost a penny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamNS 0 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 It has to be mybb as it is very easy to customise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaviq 0 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) No matter what - I would definitely go for mybb. It may be very well customized and is worth trying to make a good forum. Edited April 17, 2019 by Shaviq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnum357 0 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Never used mybb but would choose it. Because it has a wider range of themes and add-ons. If you still ask me what you would have set up as a free forum, I say discourse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
