Best php/mysql forum?

quote:Originally posted by Souri

Can anyone suggest to me what the *best* free forum out there is for a php/mysql based site?

Many of my friends as well as many decent websites, use this bad boy.

[url]http://www.pnphpbb.com/[/url] I set it up for my bro and it seems to be pretty easy/sweet to use.

I like this one: http://www.phpbb.com/

I have been using it for various forums (admin) for over two years now and it is quite easy to use. As far as I know setup is also very easy.

Thanks for the recommendations. I've set both of them up and they seem pretty cool. I also installed phpnuke (well, phpbb came with phpnuke), and postnuke as well (which fits with pnphpbb). These packages are really easy to install and have plenty of themes, but darnit, they got no personality! I've looked through a lot of phpnuke/postnuke sites and they all feel the same [:)] It's gonna need some heavy modification..

yeah a guy i know whos a web designer is rather anti phpnuke (in the same way a nintendo zealot is anti M$). Its a fair point though, its nice to have something that you actually created.

Real sites don't use phpnuke ;)

I can understand why people are against phpnuke/phpbb websites, but it's pretty tempting to use it and modify it into something that isn't so generic looking. With some time and effort, I could make it into something much different, I reckon [:)]
