Im looking for a very secure free forum system for my host. I do not have the money yet to purchase a forum system. I am thinking of using MyTopix or SMF, but IM not sure yet. Any suggestions?

Most forum software is only as secure as your password. Remember that ;).

MyTopix is a fairly good option. However, if you plan on purchasing a forum software sometime in the near future, I would suggest using the IPB 2.0.x limited trial, and then upgrading to the full system once you have aquired a license.

vBulletin is the bomb, but it costs money. I'd wait until you start making some money off hosting and then start using vB.

MyTopix, even if you wanted free or paid, I'd still recommend it over all else. Simply nothing beats it :)

It's all a matter of personal preference.

MyTopix is almost like an open-source version of IPB 1.3.

I seriously think that IPS have copied the idea of the ACP layout in IPB 2.1 from MyTopix, but that's my opinion.

You have to pay for vB and IPB, whereas there is free option for MyTopix. Go for it until you can make that one-time vBulletin payment.

I recommend IPB or phpBB, and even MyTopix.

I tried vB and I threw up.

Thats a shame, because vB is the best forum system IMO.

It's actually a shame how Jelsoft steals ideas from other companies and sells this hunk of junk for hundreds/thousands of dollars/pounds.

Not only that, they've actually deceived users to believe that vBulletin is the best forum software, when instead, it's a huge plargarised zip file of buggy jargon.

They state that their forum software is professional. Yeah, right, especially with a skin that looks like as though a child with no talent made it.

For those people who believe that I'm a hypocrite when I'm using vBulletin on my board: I was trying out vB3. I'm converting back to IPB very soon.
