I am not that big a fan of IPB. I like phpBB because it is fast. IPB is rather slow. This board loads very slowly for me I'm not sure about you guys though. I'm on cable and it loads like dial-up :S. Maybe it's all thee content/ads?

I just pade this vector Ssignature in Adobe Photoshop CS 8. It's my first try at a vector type sig. Let me know what you think about it.-Ryan

vBulletin is not listed because I have very little and pretty much near no expierience with it.

I haven't gotten paid by Google for the program but I have only made like $10.00. I know some people who have gotten paid though.

I've been seeing alot of topic and stuff that say "What forum should I use?" I''m sure you've asked yourself this question(if you have a forum or plan on making one). Ao, I am going to review every forum software I have used for reference. Burning Board: I have used this forum awhile back. I must say it is a pretty decent forum but it costs money. It is not worth the money though. Especially when you can get a better software like IPB or vB. Not much of a review but it should help. Burning Board Lite: It is a free version of burning board. I used this once. I had problems installing and problems with the admin. I would not recommend this to anyone. Especially with all the other free boards out there. EKINboard: Ekin is probobly one of my favorites. It looks similar to Invision Power Board but, isn't much like it. It is rather new so it is lacking a few features the other bigger forum softwares have. But that doesn't bother me too much. My favorite part of this forum is the Admin Panel. It is easy to navigate and is much different than other forums. Invision Power Board: I'm pretty sure everyone knows about this board and has had some expierience with it. If not goto http://www.zifboards.com/ nd try it yourself. Pointless review. myBulletinBoard: This is another one of my favorites. It has a nice ACP great community that offers excellent support. It is also pretty simple to skin and has a look similar to vBulletin with a better feel. Check this one out. phpBB: Used to be my favoirte buy I am kind of starting to stay away from it. It is pretty plain but fast and easy to use for beginners. PunBB: This is a nice simple lightweight board. Great for those who don't need all thos extra features the larger softwares offer. Skinning is extremely easy. They have a site where you fill out hex codes and it fills in the colors for you and gives you a code. So if you are into/need a lightweight board, defientyl go with this. I'll add more to this later.
