I'm not really using software. I use **ForumMotion** But I love the details and advanced UI that you can pay attention to detail and specifics. Very good "In Browser" Forum creator that I have tested and use currently.
visit their website and try it for yourself. Very much recommend for users with no code or Computer Language skills.
vB because I wanted something that has a massive amount of plug-ins/mods and is easy to operate / administrate.. (one example of that is everything auto installs and I dont have to do any manual edits)
I was with Zeta before, and that was free, there is a world of difference between zetaboards and phpBB, which is why I made the switch after 3 years, lol :cheer:
I'm using AB (AcmlmBoard). It's a very unique system that has been around since 1999. I acquired it in 2004. Although it has been greatly modified (and still needs to be), I'm satisfied with what it can do. It has post layouts, RPG posting stats, profile comments, and item shops (which I am currently working on). Spam bots don't know this forum very well, so I use this system more than any other.
