What Forum software do you prefer?

[SolidShellSecur]

I've used a bunch(almost all) and I've found vB's admin area very messy... one very good one would be IPB/Zenforo

[nocsertech]

Vbulletin, because I think it is user-friendly and quite easy to manage

And I like it

[WebCare360]

Always prefer Vbulliten.

[easyhostmedia]

if you use WHMCS then their is a forum mod (whmcsbb.com) that integrates well into WHMCS

[ceekeigh]

I always prefer vBulletin for being user-friendly.

I think that Vanilla is up and coming, I've recently converted a few vB forums to Vanilla for clients.

Most of the users prefer vb and phpbb to develop their forums.

Both phpBB and vBulletin are very goog to build forum but still I would like to compare them of the basis of ability to stop spam and banning capabilities.

I personally like SMF (Simple Machines Forum)

[swizzle]

vB is awesome, nowadays it has no competitors in this niche

[agentblack]

My personal favorite is phpbb. They have been around for quite some time, they are very well documented, and there is a trove of people who are experts in this code there to assist you if you run into any issues. They are also very quick to issue fixes for any bugs or security issues that may arise.
