Hi guyz, I just started internet marketing a while ago, and I am starting my own site. I want to create a forum because I wanna interact with the people in my niche. However, I don't know which platform to get my site on. My choices are advanced electron forum, bbpress, mybb, phpbb, punbb, or simple machines forum. Please leave your advice and thank you all in advance.

    I have used BBPress, MyBB, PunBB and PHPBB....

    All are cool but no one have such a system of plugins and templates like VBulletin has....

    If you really want to go for a long life, simple and user friendly forum then I recommend VBulletin...

    1 plus point is that 90% of the forums around you can see are using VBulletin so they are easy to use.....

    Test urself....

    Warrior Forum and Digital Point are using VBulletin to run their forums.....

    So imagine how much work it can handle.....

    Regards

    Out of the ones you've listed pen, I'd go with Simple Machines. It has a great support forum. It also has a lot of nice features. You can cut down on spam by having new people answer a question instead of just filling in a captcha.

    Simple admin, and it seems to be set up much better than phpbb.
