No, it is not. I read that somewhere. SMF is entirely different.

Enjoy. The website is a bit slow at the moment, so give it some time to load.

You want to convert to phpbb? Umm, I'd really recommend against it. PHPBB is horribly coded, full of bugs, and comes with nothing good. The only reason I use it, was because back in 2002, it was the best free forums software.

Read this guide to selecting forum software for reasons why certain forum software is better than others.

Oh, to convert FROM smf...um, I know Invision will do it for a price, but I'm sure someone has released a converstion application. Check the popular invision sites like ipsbeyond and invisionize. As far as phpbb, well, it sucks, don't bother.

It's still open source, and still easily hacked. There's a reason Invision and vBull need to be purchased.

SMF is alright, but it's admin functionality is subpar compared to Invision. Same goes for phpbb.

vBulletin is clearly the best forum at the moment. Invision is a horrible piece of trash, I can't believe people use it. phpBB3 will take over the world like 2.0 did in 2002.

vBulletin and Invision are both great forum applications. Both are highly customizeable and have plenty of modifications available. What it comes down to is personal preference, which one you personally like better.

I used to use snitz, which isn't on that list, I don't even know if they still have it up, but I liked it for a good starter forum (it wasn't that great though). I still prefer PhpBB (mostly because I like the GUI and I've started to learn Php, so I can customize it a bit), even though some one can hack it, but hey look at MGBFs, not very many people have tried.

I'd say otherwise. These forums are targets of phpbb hacks about every fifteen minutes. Be it spam bots or bots attempting to abuse security holes, these forums get tons of attempts.

If I were to start fresh now, I'd pick PunBB. And seriously, MGF? Mine Go Forums? Ugh. Just call it Server Help forums.

a new thing to the phpBB is that phpBB 2.0.11 has just been released, which fixes a major security exploit and cures a SQL Injection for changing usernames. Another thing is that phpBB 2.2 is going to be more stable and will be dynamically a more secure forum software. It will also be compatible to changing file permissions so they are not viewable and such. Whatever it is, its going to be good. Also, 2.0.11 also now officially has an implemented Robot Registration Flood mod, which needs a confirmation code to register, a bit more secure.


Some times, it's best to think as a hacker (the correct term is cracker), and find these exploits yourself, or do as I did and search how to hack PhpBB on google (I did this because, I thought I might have some fun with my self).

But yet I still agree, it has a lot of flaws, but I'd go with open source (so, I can see how it works and to customize it), then go with non-open source.

I didn't relize you had problems, but so far nothing much has happened to me (besides the fact that I keep getting porn IM's from the same website, ever since I started using PhpBB.). I guess I'm just lucky, not very much people know about my site, or if it's just I don't see it.

EDIT: Sorry, for some reason I keep saying "MGF", I guess it's just because I just type 'f' and click on the recent sites, to come here (sometimes I miss the click, and go to fuckedcompany.com, by mistake...).

Are you sure that's the correct term?
blah-er, when someone calls you a cracker, it isn't a compliment, sorry. 8(

I'm sorry but your wrong...

Almost every one gets the term mixed up, because of today's media.

A hacker is someone, that is a developer, that does his part in a online community, and is respected for his work or help.

A cracker is a lazy person, that "cracks" in to computer and/or servers, stealing valuable data, destroying it, or doing harm.

P.S That's a urban dictionary, not technical term deffintions.

First, there is no more Gravitron.
Second, cease calling me grav.
Third, you're a retarded teenager, like blah-er/spyed.
Fourth, this wasn't my post.
Fifth, vB is by far easily the most superior forum software out there all terms considered.
Sixth, invision is by far easily a rather lousy forum software all terms considered, naturally, there be worse ones.

STFU, I'm not retarded, I just like acting stupid sometimes...
If you have a problem then say it straight to my face, and don't relate, or judge me. I'm in a very pissy mood right now, because my girlfriend "accepted Jesus", and it seems I get to go to hell just because I'm not perfect, because I haven't "accepted"...

I'd say more that your the retard, in the time of five years, I've probably learn what took you 15 to maybe 18 years. I'm talking about, that I never got a computer (or used one) in till five years ago, and I've already learned about networks, and some programming (I need work on my English more, and today I finally get to take some AP computer classes at my school), which takes some people their whole life to do.

I'd tell you that my mind works 3 times (four in your case) faster then yours, and I have to relive stress by being crazy, so I don't go insane again... But you probably don't understand that, nor you probably think since that my doctor thinks I'm schizophrenia, that I'm retarded.

So, why don't you explain to me, exactly how I'm retarded? Maybe, you'll think twice before before posting some time (which I need to learn to do). Because sometimes people actually have a life, and they have other worries, other then peer pressure, much worse. In fact instead of just calling me retarded, why don't you just call me by my proper dis-functionality (according to you), which is mental retardation or mentally handicapped?

But, I'm not going to lower myself like last time and go insane, instead, I'm just going to say "Good luck, with your brain tumor!". icon_biggrin.gif

I'd keep going, but I need to go throw up right now, because all the stress has making me sick (not from you).

EDIT: I'm ok now, I guess I just needed to distract myself to stop worrying. Thanks grav and syrus, I'm sorry if I made you mad grav.

Christ never asked anyone to be perfect, and "accepting Jesus" doesn't make a person perfect. Me thinks you should talk a bit more to your girlfriend...

Anyway, Gav...nevermind. It's pointless arguging with you. You're the smartest in the world, I bow before you. Invision sucks and you're God. </sarcasim>

No, but he DID eat a fish in the presence of his disciples.
Quote:

36While they were telling these things, He Himself stood in their midst and said to them, "Peace be to you."
37But they were startled and frightened and thought that they were seeing a spirit.

38And He said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts?

39"See My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself; touch Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have."

40And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet.

41While they still could not believe it because of their joy and amazement, He said to them, "Have you anything here to eat?"

42They gave Him a piece of a broiled fish;

43and He took it and ate it before them.


Summary: The disciples thought Jesus was a ghost and were scared, but then they found out it was Jesus, they got really excited. And in this moment of great revelation, the first words of wisdom that part from his mouth are, "Do you have any food?". How awesome is that? So, you can replace all your images of Jesus being a muscular brown man with a beard and a crown of thorns, he was just a fat dude. This is my proof that Jesus is really white.

Thanks for that link MGB. That's a nice guide that lists most of the known forum software of nowadays.
