WORST forum software
There is many threads about the best forum software so I thought I would do a worst forum software thread so whats yours and why?

mine is PHPBB since the acp is fairly hard to navigate and the features are just so basic without plugins.

For me its vBulletin, even though it has all those awesome features. I still think that vBulletin is really hard to setup if you don't know what you're doing, I'm never going back again

My worst would have to be the joomla bulletin board mod (can't remember the name). @Svizy: Seriously?

RE: WORST forum software
It is a tie between SMF and phpBB. They are both awful softwares.

phpBB has awful themes, just like SMF.

RE: WORST forum software
I have never used any other forum software, but so far I have always heard that phpbb is one of the ugly ones..

@svizy, is vBulletin really so bad?

Yeah, I'm serious. It gives me a headache if I try to setup forum completely, there is just too many options to choose from for me, I like it nice, clean and simple (simple, yet affective)

RE: WORST forum software
PhpBB because the mods are so hard to install.
Also SMF because they just have a horrible look and features.
