GatorGreen Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Discourse is the new hotness apparently. The software is free and open source, but setting it up can be a bit complicated since it's different from the usual PHP webapp. May or may not be worth it depending on how many people you expect to use the forum. http://www.discourse.org/ Here's the setup guide: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-digital-ocean.md Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/86179-invision-board-alternatives/#findComment-2265690 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chunky Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 with ipb you have the option of not downloading the software. it's all hosted on invision's server and there's no messing with php or mysql. anything else like that available?

Stock Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 What about something like phpBB hosted on a free website ? It usually comes with adverts but it's the easiest way I know (I used to go for forum providers like forumactif.com - french website but there must be some english equivalent) Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide Stock's signature Hide all signatures Weekly Beats 2020 let's goooooo Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/86179-invision-board-alternatives/#findComment-2265707 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joyrex Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 VBulletin is the other large competitor, but from what I have read, all their good devs jumped ship and the software is in a shambles as of the current version.
