Those are pretty good descriptions I myself would say that phpBB is an all around good board. You can use it for a small commuity or a large community. Also, I think you can also get older versions of Invision Power Board legally (the 1.x's) but I would ask some more people around the board before using the 1.x's for your forum because what if I am wrong.

IPB is really good. phpBB is good, but its very noobish. Your site will look much more professional with IPB or if you pay, VBulletin.

Nice descriptions mate. Another thing that I would add is IntegraMod. I have seen that around more and more often. I found out that it is a spinoff of PHPBB that adds a load more modules and functionality to the regular PHPBB forums. They have calendars, picture forums all that good stuff. Its also very easy to use as it is based off of the regular style PHPBB. Oh and did i mention that its completly free like phpBB =) Thought I would throw that stuff in cuz it puzzled me a bit haha. Cheers

I just use SMF, it is a great board and has a very dedicated community that is growing rapidly. If you're old and grumpy like me you will remember the days when bulletin boards used CGI and you didn't need a php + mysql webserver to run them... the days of YaBB - Yet Another Bulletin Board. SMF is a completly redesigned BB from the makers of YaBB. So they have experience

Vbulletin > IPB > PHPBB Although I never actually used a VBulletin board, I know its way better than all the others. IPB is just plain awesome. Although, if you mess things up, it could be disasterous. PHPBB is just strange. The first time I used it, It look foreign to me but I overlooked the simplicity of it.

Phpbb Problems Galore
(1) The latest site of my creation is GamerGlitch.com. The site started out with just content, no

I needed to change this. So, I took action and added a large, PHPBB 2.(I forget) Forum. However,

post inside it. Does anyone here know where I could find a mod like this, on
http://gamerglitch.trap17.com/forum3/ I have the Ajax Shout box installed, but I don;t know how I
could change it to appear on every page of the forum (like here, on Trap17), instead of just inside
the chat.php file. If anyone knows how I would go about finding this Mod, and installing it, please ....
Phpbb Forum Move From One Database To Another
(2) Hello everyone, recently I set up a forum online, the hosting provider I set it up with however only

little differences, there is no ability to backup the forum in the admin section, and we are also
unable to install any mods to it. Apparently with the Phpbb forum using a MS Access database is
limited. Now we have a bit of a problem because the forum has been running for some time, and we
are trying to find a way to get the information moved over with us if we change to an S....
