Favorite forum software

[1stop]

For me, I like phpBB and XenForo. phpBB is free and simple, but XenForo just feels smoother for a paid forum software I used both before, and to be honest, it depends on your budget. XenForo has that modern feel but the license fee is a little higher.

XenForo does feel smoother than the rest.

It's simple but fully featured.

My favorite is Discourse. It's very modern, fast, and has lots of features. Otherwise, I also like XenForo when it comes to “classic forums.”

Discourse is cool. It really is. But it's hard for me to get used to it. I'm just so used to forum formats.

That's definitely a Shawn problem, though. LOL.

Maybe the theme takes some getting used to; I'm still working on finding something nicer. But I find it very easy to use, especially on mobile devices, which is handy when I travel a lot.
