Ok i used to use phpbb all the time for every forum i had (which was alot). But i have since upgraded to vb... how ever i have a new forum i want to get started, and don't have the funds for vb at the time...so right now i have phpbb going on it, then i will convert it later...

I hate how you have to do so much to phpbb to get it to be anything near what vb is out of the box. Such as 30 minutes to install a quick reply mod...a 60 min+ mod to have the file attachment mod...everything is such a headache...So i decided to keep the forum very plain as far as mods till i can get my vb then i'll be happy once again.... Some people would rather spend hours on hours modding their phpbb for free, i would rather just buy the license for 160 and save hours of my personal time lol

Ok my rant is over haha

try MyBB, there's not that many hacks but it's a lot better than phpbb.

Well I already have phpbb set up, and like i said i don't plan on keeping it very long maybe a month (i hope). I just wanted to start bringing in traffic

Well if you plan on getting a new board and don't have enough for vb get mybb.

MyBB is quite powerfull and has a lot of features to match vB or Invision. It's gonna be a real popular board in the future if it stays free.

That's how a lot of them start. Free, until they start to become popular, then they stop being free.

If food and oil where free, lots of other things would be free to

I wasn't complaining, I was just stating a fact.
