    Default What does EP use for their MessageBoard?

    It's as simple as the topic, realy. I need to know for my site, because i'm trying to use EZboard, and it's kinda tricky.
    But if that's what's on EP then that's what i'm gonna use coz it looks great for the user.
    But if it's not... I want to use what EP uses (preferably without being hosted)

    P.S. Only if it's free .

    Since the internet existed... IPB works great Especially since I ripped 30 dollars off my friends to just help them INSTALL and MAINTAIN the forums

    lol, well you don't need any knowledge of PHP/MySQL to install Invision Board. They give you a step by step installation tutorial.. so it's really easy to install.

    I prefer vBulletin mostly because of it's features and hacks.. but IPB is a pretty good BBS too.

    yeah, i use phpbb. its free and, well, its an average forum. dont forget though, you dont hasve to know php coding or anything klike that. same with mysql. thats mainly if you're going to make your own hacks and addons. but you can always use other people's hacks that they create. this is the same with pretty much all basic forums...

    EDIT: you still have to install hacks to vbulletin too. the admins here installed all the cool extras here at ep......
