As I recently mentioned, we've been having a few issues with our current messageboard software (XMB) where spam registrations and posts aare flooding
the site, and it's making the management of the boards pretty frustrating. I could nerd-out and hack the software in an attempt to prevent this from
happening, but that's very time consuming, and future official upgrades would not work.
So... I'm looking into options for new messageboard software, and wanted to get your input. Are there other bord applications out there that
you're familiar with that you like? I'm leaning toward phpBB, but I though I would ask. Thanks for your input.ENDERA.x - 2-20-2005 at 03:13 PM
phpBB or InvisionBoard
I'd go with either of those,I've used both before. Good stuff.
(go with phpBB)Mikey216 - 2-20-2005 at 05:54 PM
phpBB for sure, just make sure you kep on top of any new PHP news and if the site is on a hosted server you shouldn't have a problem with that, they
should be on top of the security.BDx13 - 2-21-2005 at 01:08 AM

We have fucked with PhPBB on bystander and wakeuppunk.com, as long as you keep up on the updates it is awesome.
we have goofed around and fucked it up a few times, but we were doing shared sql database off server and a few other wierd weeks.ENDERA.x - 2-21-2005 at 11:48 AM
