real_illusions Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 phpBB is probably the simplest forum software thats half decent and is free. The software i'd recommend is IPB (the one this board is on) but it costs money (unless you host with invision) and is alot more complicated but therefore alot more customisable.

aspnetguy Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I would pay for phpBB andyday over IPB but that's just me. phpBB is my favorite. VBullitin also is very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justsomeguy Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I'm not much of a fan of IPB either. He might be able to install phpBB and turn off the features he doesn't want to use. Here's another:http://simplemachines.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synook Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 SMF is quite good, another one is http://www.mybboard.net/ . Although really, any good forum system is going to be on the complicated side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
