 Post subject: best Forum software?? |
 |
 |
|
|
I have been using PHPBB for a forum on my web site.
I'm setting up a new web site and am looking around at all the
different bulletin board programs available. naturally, some are free
and some come with a hefty price tag.
I just wanted to get an opinion from you all here what is the best
bulletin board software available in your opinion.
also, I'm having a terrible problem with spammers.
they come in and sign up and post a lot of p**n, Viagra, casino BS.
is any way to filter that out??
thanks

PHPBB is certainly not anywhere near "the best" (the worst?), but if you
want to simply keep using it ....
...... are you using the CAPTCHA mod (and actually, there is an
"improved" CAPTCHA mod with better graphics)?
It has helped me a lot. I get almost no spammers as they have to
manually register first.

If you can find a bulletin board that will stop spammers, let us all
know. I took down the ones I had on the websites I maintain as it was
becoming a full time job just to delete all the spam postings.
