Need help on a decision

[Julian124]

In your opinion, what is better: vB 3.6.* or 3.7.*?
I mean by available mods and styles wise.
Which would you recommend for a warez forum? Thank you! :)

[UltimA]

At the moment I'd choose 3.6.x.
It's going to be supported by Jelsoft for a long while to come. (until 4.x comes out)
Plus you have the benefits of many more styles, and modifications.

Just my two cents :)

[Julian124]

Thank you UltimA! All I needed was your two cents to make my decision! ;)

[UltimateWarez]

Go with phpBB3 . Its free and people cant stop you from using something thats free. DOnt use a nulled vBulletin theres to many jealous people out there

Ahh...touche...but I'm able to get 3.6.x with a vBulletin license correct? If so I'm going to but a license ASAP! Was just wondering which was better. :)

[Golden Falcon]

Even if your going to have a license, you are running a warez site on it. Which in-itself gives you no support from the official site (theres many sites what will help you out anyway)

If you run a free coded board, you will NEVER have any problems about licensing or other problems. :)

[Saurav]

Warez sites do get support :S Well I have anyway.

[Julian124]

Hmm I would run on a free coded forum software, but I can't find any that compare to vbulletin in mods & styles-wise. They all have crappy styles. And not many mods are available for them. And as Saurav stated, warez sites get support. And if not, I have the other sites to help. :)

[StarTech]

Well i have no idea how to port them into an SMF forum , cause i never had to do that :)

Anywayz you can join the SMF forum , you can request support in there , they will surely help you.

And indeed You will not have to pay for any license or Wathever ,
ofc you need a good host ..

Also , You Got an Entire Mod site for smf mods , so Choice enough :)
And if you already checked it out the tinyportal templates look really nice =)
