Which would you rather join, a website that has a custom made forum software which is not used anywhere else or a website which uses something more established like phpBB3? The custom software would lack in features but would have a lot of uniqueness and would be integrated seamlessly with the rest of the site.
 
I wouldnt really care, I dont join forums because of what software they use, maybe you should add that to the poll.
 
I wouldn't really care, if the Community has something to offer that id want id join it, if people join a forum for the software, then I dunno what to say about them.
 
Well, my main point behind making this is to see whether I should make my forum using a custom software or phpBB3. One gives features and the other tells the user that I put a lot of work into the site.

I beg to differ, they both are the same thing, they both do the same thing therefore for me the effect is the same for both.

It's just a matter of how you customize it.
 
Something that interests me really, I could care less what kind of software they use
 
I would rather run a popular software (like phpbb) that has several thousands of people constantly looking for ways to make the software better and is always cranking out new mods / cool new features.

As a member, I dont care. As long as I can figure out how to make posts, Im good. 😀
