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. |
