Isn't PHPBB free?

Quote:

phpBB is released free of charge. However, you must read and fully understand the license agreement before you download and use the software.

Oops yea, typo. Thanks.

Also, feel free to add on to the list, I'll edit the post.

Don't forget phpBB2, since phpBB1 and phpBB2 are treated as different pieces of software.

MasterX · 11-10-2006, 08:56 PM

IPB for the win and IPB can me a CMS too for an extra 130$

SMF+Joomla FTW.

K? Pŕo?ćtiόnŹ · 11-11-2006, 04:11 AM

Joomla kinda sucks.

lpxxfaintxx · 11-11-2006, 04:53 AM

I'd prefer e107 over joomla.

Loser777 · 11-11-2006, 05:35 AM

You guys pay for your forums? Isn't IPB like $100?

BlaZeR · 11-11-2006, 06:21 AM

A lot of the smaller forums are using illegal copies of the software... however, most larger forums use legal ones.

MasterX · 11-11-2006, 03:45 PM
