GatorGreen Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Discourse is the new hotness apparently. The software is free and open source, but setting it up can be a bit complicated since it's different from the usual PHP webapp. May or may not be worth it depending on how many people you expect to use the forum. http://www.discourse.org/ Here's the setup guide: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-digital-ocean.md Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chunky Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 with ipb you have the option of not downloading the software. it's all hosted on invision's server and there's no messing with php or mysql. anything else like that available?

Stock Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 What about something like phpBB hosted on a free website ? It usually comes with adverts but it's the easiest way I know (I used to go for forum providers like forumactif.com - french website but there must be some english equivalent) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joyrex Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 VBulletin is the other large competitor, but from what I have read, all their good devs jumped ship and the software is in a shambles as of the current version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
