phpbb and parachat i would say they both rock so i would use them!!1cool
for forums, i suggest you use MyBB it is easy to install and use as for a chat, i dont know any good free ad-free ones but http://www.parachat.com/ is good, as well as http://www.x7chat.com/
no this forum is running on Invision Power Board, but it costs around 200 bucks to get
I have made this site if you want to look some of my work www.darkerthanvanilla.com.au
Have you got a site you made
You should consider going with PhpBB or SMF if you are looking for some free forum software.
Punbb is a free one and validates to xhtml Strict. And there are Chat Rooms available through the fantastico on the Hosting accounts here.
If you use Mambo, you can have a forum intergrated into the design of your site by installing the Simpleboard component (fom Two Shoes Mambo Factory, http://www.tsmf.net) It's very free, and provides a decent feature set. It can intergrate with Community Builder user profiles, and has a limited set of user permissions.
I know that it has been mentioned here before but phpBB is probably one of the better choices for a free, easy to install BB. There are plenty of very helpful guides and tutorials about for this.
An honourable mention would be www.phpbbhacks.com/ Very informative, very helpfull, take a look.
phpbb is very good because a lot of people are familiar with it. But I would recomend SMF, you can install it through fantastico in your cpanel here. With SMF, you can add features like a chatroom or arcade to your board directly through the SMF admin panel. They've got a few chatroom mods that only take a few clicks to install.
I've been using the Everywherechat mod in my SMF for around a year now. It's nice because people can also access the chatroom from an IRC client if they feel more comfortable with that. Latest Entries
