standles Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 All and especially Brian: I am trying to decide between these two software for our clubs forum. I thought at one point BENOS was Vbulletin but may be wrong. If not then what was the deciding factor to switch? Also open to others suggestions and reccomendations. I don't want to start a bashing contest just looking for direction. Ease of Installation and Management are big Plusses Steven PS. This will serve ~1000 folks and be the main communication system for our club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 There may be a thread around here on that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
standles Posted March 29, 2007 Author Share Posted March 29, 2007 I did try a search. Forum returned 32 differnt pages of hits :0 I limited it to user benos and found one thread out of 7 pages that had some discussion of the software but it was 2003 timeframe. I was hoping for others suggestions and more up to date stuff. Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

standles Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 Thx siglady... Yeah I already saw that. This is one of the reasons I was asking here for experiences/comparisons good or bad. I also know alot of computer geeks hang out in these forums as well. LOL! Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Yes, the mega-geeks that 'live' here would surely have data and opinions to impart on this. You might ask "George" (among others) about such things......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharyn Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I've had good experiences with phpbb ( http://www.phpbb.com ). I don't know the cost of IPB (this forum's software) but I know vBulletin can get pricey. phpbb is easy to use, very flexible, highly customizable and their support forum is awesome... and... it's free!

dfwmiket Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 +1 to phpbb. I've had good luck with it, and the free part is tough to beat. -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
