Hello NFO family! I have been having a hard time figuring out what forum/website software to use for my community. I like wordpress, but i just cant seem to get bbpress to be very functional. I love phpbb, but I always have issues with spam bots.
I have looked into paid forum packages, but i would much rather keep my nfo hosted webserver.
I wish i could make wordpress work, but it just seems almost impossible for me to get it to look anything like phpbb. I like the simplicity of it, but I do not like the layout of the forum board.
I wish i could just pay someone to make the bbpress look/act like phpbb. I tried using that wordpress/phpbb merge plugin, but unfortunately it seems the developer has abandoned it :/
Any suggestions? What do you guys use?

Re: Forum solutions
I would honestly say mybb works out pretty well. I am currently developing my website and will send a link once its up.

Re: Forum solutions
I'm responding because I recently went through this for the community I represent. Tossed around a ton of different ideas and even went as far as to test them on my own server at home. I ended up going with the tried-and-true (although sometimes buggy) phpBB.
I've done a lot of research on enhanced anti-spam measures and there are a lot of good extensions out there for it.
Have you decided on which route you're going to take?

Re: Forum solutions
I started with phpbb then switched to mybb then to Invision Power Suite I may suggest that you start with a free forum software until you reach sole point where you have a stable support to make a paid forum software the worth
