Well..
I just finished my 1day workshop that was held to find out the KING of Bulletin Boards. I downloaded and installed more than 5 (phpBB 3.0.B2, YaBB 2.1, SMF, MyBB, etc.) popular bulletin board scripts just to check which is the best open source script available out there on the Internet.
Though I’m not gonna post any review about my experience with these scripts at the moment (because I’m sick), I’ll soon be posting about each and every script features and their uses in detail.
If you wanna know about the winner, MyBB gets the crown. Though phpBB 3.0 will have too many new powerful features (particularly the sexy administration panel design when it’s final release is available for public), I was shocked to see MyBB’s so powerful features that can’t be found in ANY other free bulletin board script. MyBB is like vBulletin’s younger brother.
Hey! What are you doing?? Now don’t start to compare vBulletin’s each and every feature with MyBB because so many vBulletin features cost you $160 for a lifetime license while one can get one or even hundred MyBB licenses for $0. And if you are a crazy Internet user like me, you can have more than 5 forums running on the Internet. Now just calculate the total cost of 5 vBulletin licenses. Got the idea? ;) That’s why I say that MyBB rocks!!
Trust me! I’m not an Internet newbie. I’ve more than 5yrs of heavy computing experience. And according to the test results, I’m pretty sure that No other free bulletin board script can beat the power of MyBB.
See you soon with the complete feature details.
Enjoy!
