IPB - V-Bulletin is not free and you have to pay to get the package. Although we have free forums too. PHPBB and SMF are 2 of them. There are lots of free forums but most of them arent as good as these two.

Yes Vbulletin is not free, but you can also use Invisionfree. Its free and its a pretty good forum package. However, it doesn't have all the features of Vbulletin. But hey its free, and you don't have to buy it for hundreds of dollars. And I don't think Bulletin is the best, its all based on opinion. IMO i think Invision (not the free one) is equal or better then vbulletin

IMO i think Invision (not the free one) is equal or better then vbulletin  It sounds good... But the features of IPB it's a lot of them? How I think that IPB is much better then PhpBB  but for PHPBB there are a lot of skins... For IPB are there free skins? If you have got links can you post it here please?
Somehow, vBulletin is far superior than the others (IPB and PHPBB) I think. But, yes I've never seen it as free.
vBulletion isn't free, but I like it how vBulletion and IPB are set up, I like it how they are set up and the look they work. I wish they were free. There is no way I'm paying so much just for a board.
A good free board is phpBB. It's easy to install, and mods are easy to install thanks to EasyMOD (look in Mods, under Installation) and the it is open source. I recommend you use MySQL for the DB.
Yes... that's free but so much of limitation if you go to free forums...
I guess I need to implement it to my website myself if I want to see it works well.

-You can get free IPB skins at www.invisionize.com To anima : -VBulletin is NOT free hence you can not find it on the internet, unless you get it illegally. You could try using IPB 1.2 thats already given to you at the Fantastico page of this host. Its quite good and better than InvisionFree. You could also use PhpBB, I heard its good too but I personally am not a fan of it. QUOTE(.hack//GU @ Oct 23 2005, 07:31 AM) Yes... that's free but so much of limitation if you go to free forums...

There are packs of free forum hosters available on the net, some of them have almost no limitations on the space, bandwidth etc of your forum. Once, I was using InvisionPlus.net Free Forum Hosting, and I was completely sutisfied with it, as it offered unlimited space/bandwidth as well as a vast amount of features... It is worth trying it out

If you really want free IPB you can register a board at www.invisionfree.com . Although they give you free IPB hosting they have adverts on all your pages. And they dont let you upload templates. You can only change the CSS . For CSS Layouts you can go to IF Skin Zone. I dont remember the url. Just search it in google. The problem with invisionfree is that it has ads at the top of your pages which makes a little annoying. You can also register a IPB board for free at www.invisionplus.net which puts ads at the bottom of you pages. Phew. I think thats the longest post ive ever made. Oh by the way. Someone told me that IPB 1.3 is free but just some illegal sites have it for download. Is it ture ?
Look these forums are all totally different i dont care how much people say to me that the forums are sort of the same they are not. IPB is probabaly the most popualr forum type available on the net today, it has so many mods and skins you can use. VBulliten is a very good forum type for huge enterprises but can start slowing down when to many members come online. PHPBB is probabaly the best free forum type out there since IPB went paid. When i started out my company i beta tested all the popualr forum types and found IPB to be the best for me as its easy to manage and the layout is smooth. The new IPB looks even better. IPB also is not located anymore in fantastico as IPS withdrew the agreement with Netenberg. As for SMF ive never used it and i dont really want to either as it looks quite bad for a company but as a personal forum i would say its ok.
I have not seen a free Vbulletin forum that is for free but
this is the one I use: http://myfastforum.org/ this is where you sign up for your forum to show a preview what it looks like you can check my actual forum as a preview what yours could possibly turn into by going to http://ewforums.myfastforum.org! There support boards are Superb you get fast replies when posting a question I hade several questions at one stage and I posted on the support and to my amazement they answered all straight a way! And it is 100% free as I have never used Vbulletin i have no clue what they I like but I have been with all free Forums sites and I have found that this one eats the cake There is only a minimal advertising space but apart from that there are no pop ups.! The Forum and the Amin panel It is extremely easy to use trust me you will not be Dissapointed as far as free forums go I said before and I'll it again this truly eats the cake!! ! Try it for yourself you'll see what I mean?
um theres another forum sytem called smf
http://www.simplemachines.org/ its offered in the packages here QUOTE(DogEater008 @ Oct 23 2005, 07:06 PM) i'm using smart forum machine (SMF).. and it quite nice and of course, it's free. And Trap17 have the pre-install script for it so installing is just a matter of seconds. You could go to their support forum for help and request modification for the forum. it also compatible with coppermine gallery and mkportal. A) It's Simple Machines Forum. B) Yes installing it is quick; but better forums are worth the effort to upload and install. C) I don't know anthing about intergration with these products. Yes, vBulletin is quite a forum, and definitely worth the money (if you can spare that much on a forum). I say that it's more commercial grade, meaning that it is better suited to larger and more active forums (like this one, Mamboserver.com, and others). I would get it if it were free for sure, but not at the $160 that Jelsoft wants for it.
