The best Forum Software?

Well there's no truly definitive list out there because 'best' is subjective based on needs. For me and my needs I prefer XenForo, but if it's a small project with lightweight needs I'll go with MyBB, Flarum or Vanilla's open source version. It's a question of project scope and needs, different people have different needs for their projects, so different software works better for them and so there is no conclusive best forum software list.
We've also had a few of these discussions in the past, so you can see other lists from other people here:

Favorite Forum Software?
Mine by far is the paid one Xenforo. There’s just no match for it at all impo. And it’s totally and completely customizable and I like learning how to code with it. And I’m talking about both paid and free forum softwares. My very own mental wellness support community is run on Xenforo, my 1st...

Do you prefer free, paid or a mix of solutions? What do you feel are the pros and cons of paid and free solutions?Well, in my opinion, the updates for paid software can be annoying. I mean, XenForo demands around $60 for yearly renewals. However, though, the upside is that you can probably...

What kind of paid forum software do you like?
I like XenForo, but probably cause I'm just accustomed to it. As with free forum software, I can't see one as being better than other. However, though, it is true I have seen highly negative things about Vbulliten, but I'm not sure if it's the software or bad administrators. Well, I remember...

There are no factual lists because the word "favorite" or "best" is based on needs and personal preferences. But nonetheless, my favorite forum software would have to be XenForo. Even though the add-ons are expensive to upgrade & maintain, the general user interface is breathtaking & modern.

Huh, I didn't even realize Wix had an add-on that allowed you to create a forum.
Nevertheless, I still stick with my top choice of xenForo (paid) and myBB (free), but I've experimented with FlaskBB, Discourse, NodeBB, Flarum, and a metric boatload of other forum software, and they're still very good picks.

I have never heard of Wix software until now.
To be honest, I googled it and it's a website builder. May be I got the wrong link.
Well, anyway, among paid forum software, I will go with Xenforo. If it's free forum software, then I will go with MyBB. I like the look of Xenforo a lot but it's a bit expensive. Not as expensive as IPB or vB though.
