What forum software do you like better?

Just looking to see what forum software you like better

I did have IPB before xenforo was released but when I saw xenforo something about it made me want to try it 10yrs on and I stil use it .

I could never bring myself to like IPS all that much, and I gave it a very fair shake, bought two licenses for it and used it on two sites. I converted one to Woltlab's Burning Board (that site I converted is now defunct, but I liked wBB a lot!) and the other to XenForo...still with XenForo since 2010! I won't avoid sites that use IPS, that's just idiocy, but from an administrative perspective I always prefer others before it.

I just opened up a forum on IPB. I've always been a fan of IPB the most over the years. I think they have the best security for their forum software and they have lots of features if you want them all.

I love MyBB's layout the most. Simple, uncluttered and smart. But they are way behind a lot of things and that keeps me worrying. Even paid software has failed to match such simplicity.

Well i used to love IPB however i have come to really enjoy XenForo, i find it's not bloated like most other and it's easy to edit just about anything.
Plus the support there is #1

XF got a lot of third party support too. And I feel that is a good thing.

I like phpBB the best. It's not the most feature-rich, but it is straightforward and user-friendly. It's also quite customizable if you are willing to put the time in. ^^

phpBB is a life saver for most of us. There are not many good software with a responsive theme.

I like phpBB the best.

I used it when i started doing sites years ago however i have come to enjoy XenForo very much, the only thing i don't like about phpbb is the styling.
