I use SMF (www.simplemachines.org) because, well, I just like it !

Try it out!

I notice that these are all PHP based forums, when will there be a good competitor for forums like Vbulletin and IPB. As far as I can see there really is only Webwiz forum that comes close in ASP. Does anyone else know of any other better ones.?

There's an ASP.NET one called ... umm ... Community Server I think.

yeah I have heard of that one, microsoft use it on their ASP.net forum but It doesn't look to good. Anyway I have been looking for quite a few solid hours and I have come to the decision that Web Wiz Forums 8 is probably still the best way to go. But if anyone feels like making a forum please make it in ASP because they are so few and far between. There are still no ASP forums to match Vbulletin or IPB which is a real shame. Thanks for your help.

I heard that the latest version of Community Server is pretty good, actually. You might want to give it a closer look.

I use Xoops...love it!

I love my Vbulletin but I'm also an SMF fan.

I've used SMF and Vanilla but I am a thru and thru UseBB fan. It is lightweight and extremely customizable. Perfect for my needs.

I now use vBulletin. Wow... what a fantastic forum software it is...

I concur :mrgreen: Now if only JelSoft will release their CMS already ...
