I'm putting together a website. (Actually, I have someone putting it together for me, but I'm contributing as I can with regard to design.) It's not about poker; it's more of a non-commercial, community education site. It will be a small site, without a lot of traffic at first, but there is some possibility of significant expansion in the future. I won't bore you with details which would fit better on the politics forum. A part of the site will probably be a discussion forum. There are lots of discussion forum software options out there.
Many are free, others cost something. In any event, it's a lot to research. So my question to you guys is: Do you have an opinion on the best discussion forum software out there? (Of course we all know UBB.threads is the best, but it may or may not be right for me. [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]) Your reasoning may be based on nothing but your preference as a user, or might touch on advantages for the web designer, or what have you. Just hit me with your thoughts. Two possibilities have caught my attention so far. They are
phpBB and
AZbb -- each for different reasons. They are both free, but I'm not opposed to paying something.
I may opt to use a blog feature instead, but if I do I'm leaning strongly toward WordPress, as used
here, for example. Thoughts on that are welcome too.
I figured the 2+2 users were the go-to guys for this.
Thanks for any input!
