Which is the most used Forum software in the internet?

(1/5) > >>

klumy:
Is there any possibility to find out?
I'm just curious.

Personally I think it's phpBB, although I like SMF more.  ;)

Shoeb Omar:
It's probably phpBB.  I duno why.. I think it's the worst forum out there.  The likes of invision and of cours pay forums are invariably better.  Not to mention YSE! ;D.

klumy:
I think phpBB is so spreaded, because of the continuity of the software. They never change their name for years.

Just have a look at Invisionboard which is in fact a SE version of Ikonboard. Or SMF which is a splinted version of YabbSE which is also splinted by YabbGold. Through the name changes, you have to completly build up a new
memberbase.

hopefully this was the last namechange for "yabbSE"  :D

Even then, phpBB gains tons of new members very quickly.  Maybe it's because their name is know, but their software is pretty crudbags imho.

Shoeb Omar:
I completely 100% agree.

Invision is nice to use, although, so was Ikonboard. I have always felt at home with YaBB SE and the aura SMF gives out is better than YSE.

It's the aura too and how nice it is to use. phpBB is a vile forum system tbh.
