Change forum software

Hi,

Right now our server is having hdd problems. We will replace the hdd as soon as our backups are finished. Do you think a more
advanced forum software is required? Like invision poweboard or vbulletin?

Thank you.

I've been using IPB (Invision Powerboard) for years .. amazing features and price is cheap. Plus it looks great If you need any help setting it up or installing specific plugins just let me know.

I wouldn't say you need a more advanced forum (even though I'm biased with IPB), but it sounds like just your web hosting company. As an example.. I currently play online games with a group of guys and gals who have been using IPB from the same web host (hostgator) for the past 6 years, and never once had a problem with their forum or any HDD issue = www.hostgator.com and their site forum link is (using a custom skin) = http://combinedarms.org/forums/

Well MYBB is free....

Well the only thing that i dont like about fluxbb is the method it sends messages. The email i get doesnt have a reply address and a lot of users send me emails from the forum and i cant send them back. Ahhh...and also there are the spam users always signing up. Tried everything to prevent that, doesnt work (captcha, math, hidden field...).

I personally vote for IPB , but runner ups are VBulletin or PHPBB .. I've used all of them.

Some more votes please :-) I've seen IPB and it looks good. PHPBB is known for security problems.
