    Question Best free forums to use?

    I need to find a good forum to use for my website GameGamut ...

    Anything that is free, php and mysql, and not ib or mb, and has a lot of features.

    Thanks

    http://www.phpbb.com/
    That's what I would consider the best free PHP bulletin board.

    yes, phpbb does do the job good.

    You may have to do some MODing to get it to your standards though.

    I suggest you get a vBulletin License, but phpBB is also good, except for some fewer functions...

    proboards are pretty good, the only problem is the pop ups but what can you do.

    lol, "Hey, im dirkduck, but I forgot my username" . Anyways, I would suggest PHPBB myself, but since you dont want to use that, then I'd go with www.powerboards.tk. I know the guy that is desiging them, currently there is a non-mySQL version (which is very good), and hes coming up with a MySQL version (its very nice).
