Seeking Message Board

Hi there,

I am thinking of starting my own message board, but I don't want to have to pay money just yet until I see how it goes.

I want to be able to have all the features this board has & make it easy to prevent people from spamming, flamming etc.

Any suggestions?

Thanks & have a good night !


Michelle

I would start with www.phpbb.com. But if you plan on doing anything serious with the forum, I definitely recommend investing the one-time $160 into vBulletin. Also check out the "Premade Scripts" forum.

Invision is no longer free though. I like vBulletin, and they just released version 3.5 Don't like YaBB (now SimpleMachines?, I believe) at all.

Well i quite like phpbb as a free option. But you can also use invision board (free Version) as an other.

But i would recommend PHPBB since it has some nice FREE Mods & hacks also FREE Skins around.

Good luck
