Hey people, I figured I would ask u guys this question because if any one were to know it would be, t would be you guys. I have been using pro boards but a lot of people that have come to my forum don't really like the setup and they have to be 13 or over to register... what? That was another complaint. So bottom line I would like to move the forum why it is still young. What is the best free forum site in you guys opinion? and i don't want it to say freeforums in the link either. Is there any flaws with forumpromotion? That site is looking good.

MyBB is definitely one of the best with a vast amount of free plugins and themes.
 
I cannot say that one is better than the others. Note, for people who dislike directly messing with code, MyBB and SMF are better than phpBB because you can switch the logo automatically. However, they have developed a plugin to solve that problem in phpBB. Actually, in reality, all the free forum software packages that I've messed with, SMF, MyBB, and phpBB, can be adjusted using plugins. In fact, even spam can be stopped using certain plugins which might be less than the cost of premium software.
 
Hate Pro boards i have a Zeta boards it works for what i am using it for, and my members like the way they can navigate through it without getting lost, ACP is a lot better and user friendly also, i have had myBB and yes they are good also but Zeta is my preference

I found these 4 forum :
http://www.proboards.com/
http://www.zetaboards.com
http://www.forumotion.com/
http://www.invisionfree.com/
 
There is too many restrictions on things with free boards, just like there is with Blogger or WordPress (assuming you're using a sub-domain of WordPress.com) Note I want to distinguish free boards like proboards.com, with free software (phpBB etc.) which you can run on your own domain.

It depends. I think everyone has their strengths and weaknesses.

But I prefer phpBB.
MyBB has many functions that phpBB does not have, but I see that it is very polluted, has a very tumultuous look, many links in the UCP and etc, a horrible profile and so on .. So in the visual question I prefer phpBB.

Now with version 2.0 of myBB going a lot things will change and will be a breakthrough for the software.
