    Default I Want Opinions About MyBB

    I would like to hear about your opinions on the forum script MyBB

    Is anyone here using this platform or are you a member of a forum that uses it? I would particularly like to hear phpBB VS MyBB comments but anything you know from personal experience about MyBB would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm not satisfied with phpBB and I am considering making some drastic changes and migrating/merging everything into a MyBB installation.

    Default Re: I Want Opinions About MyBB

    myBB is my absolute favorite free forum software package so I'm a bit biased. I haven't played around with phpBB 3 enough to comment on the negatives and positives of both.

    vB is still the way to go if you're serious about running a large forum but myBB is great to start off with then you can always "upgrade" to vB. Although I've seen some fairly large myBB boards.

    I have a myBB board here: Remix Talk - Chat for Music Fans it's DOA at the moment haven't done anything with it but if you would like register and drop me a PM (DJ Dan) I'll bump you up to admin so you can play around with it.

    Cheers,

    Thanks to all of you for your replies. I have been to MyBBs site and read everything I could find and poked around in their support forum, but hearing what you all have to say about it means more.

    Another fan of MyBB here :love:

    It is the closest you can get to vBulletin without buying vBulletin. I have 4 forums using it. It is easy to install (even for me ) and there are great plugins and skins available. The support forum has always been there where I get stuck with anything.

    MyBB is the best free forum software out there. A great alternative to vbulletin.

    An old friend of mine from another forum ages ago mentioned something about this to me, when it was in it's baby stages. It looks like it has evolved a lot since then and seems to be taking a fair market share of the free BB industry.

    Thanks again everyone for all the input. I have decided to go with MyBB. I would really have liked to get a "used" vB license but I havent been able to locate one. So MyBB it is.

    You can always convert over to VB once your forum is going good
    That's what I did with EG

    Yeah, I will keep that in mind. I already have 578 members and over 3000 posts, but the forum has been going since Jan 2008. I put links to it on my main site (when it was on the other domain) but I never did too much to promote it. Now I am going to be doing more of that to make it more acitve.

    Default Re: I Want Opinions About MyBB

    Well after working with MyBB all day yesterday and most of today I have to say that I like it much better the phpBB (which I used for over a year)

    EDIT - Now after working with MyBB even more I would really have to say that if somoene thinks phpBB is better they really havent experienced MyBB at all. I mean there is simply no comparison here. MyBB shoots phpBB right out of the running.

    I am a MyBB Fan, in fact I make MyBB skins

    I don't see the point in moving to vBulletin, besides the plugins and such. MyBB has everything that vBulletin has really, without the bloat, so I don't think its worth it.

    I like am using MyBB for my Forum. I like it a lot, however, there are not that many themes available for version 1.4, at least not compared to other Free forums like PHPBB and SMF.
