I can't find free vBulletin forum and stuff for it...
Everyone telling me that vBulletin is the best forum... Is that truth? If not tell what forum should I use... I need forum without security holes and "file= file=" holes...
I was using PHPBB2 and IPB but I don't like em... don't really know why
So please answer question and give me links for forum and stuff for it...

vBulletin is indeed a good forum package, but it is not free. And please stop spamming.

Yes Vbulletin is not free, but you can also use Invisionfree. Its free and its a pretty good forum package. However, it doesn't have all the features of Vbulletin. But hey its free, and you don't have to buy it for hundreds of dollars. And I don't think Bulletin is the best, its all based on opinion. IMO i think Invision (not the free one) is equal or better then vbulletin

Notice from saint-michael:

this is one-liner and is considered spam thats your warning, you need to add more to this.

It sounds good... But the features of IPB it's a lot of them?
How I think that IPB is much better then PhpBB but for PHPBB there are a lot of skins... For IPB are there free skins?
If you have got links can you post it here please?

Somehow, vBulletin is far superior than the others (IPB and PHPBB) I think. But, yes I've never seen it as free.

Yes... that's free but so much of limitation if you go to free forums...
I guess I need to implement it to my website myself if I want to see it works well.

To : 3Tfanatics
-You can get free IPB skins at www.invisionize.com

To anima :
-VBulletin is NOT free hence you can not find it on the internet, unless you get it illegally.

You could try using IPB 1.2 thats already given to you at the Fantastico page of this host. Its quite good and better than InvisionFree. You could also use PhpBB, I heard its good too but I personally am not a fan of it.

Not nessecerily... There are packs of free forum hosters available on the net, some of them have almost no limitations on the space, bandwidth etc of your forum. Once, I was using InvisionPlus.net Free Forum Hosting, and I was completely sutisfied with it, as it offered unlimited space/bandwidth as well as a vast amount of features... It is worth trying it out

actually phpBB just have some security holes, vBulletin is with good options and good security, IPB and invisionfree is also good.
