Definitely Xenforo. Super easy to use and works out to be a great investment.

Xenforo.

i’d say xenforo is the best forum software, but Invision community v5 is looking good too.

It’s just too expensive.

I can't really say cause I haven't used the other major premium brands (aside from XF).

Very expensive, xenforo is still better though.

Why is that?

I voted for Xenfofo but I think despite being free, SMF is also very good. I have a forum on running on SMF.

XenForo seems to be the best, but that's the best I've tried. I haven't tried Invision, Wolt Lab or Vbulletin as the main admin.

I used SMF back in 2011 was a great forum software back then but I think it's lacking in some areas.

Has to be Xenforo when it comes to premium software for me and in terms of free software it would have to be MyBB.

I agree with you, but MyBB has not had an update for a long time right?

I don't believe it has, I haven't used it in some time but the last I checked, they were still quite behind and hadn't had an update.

Xenforo is the best. Super simple and easy to look at.

It’s been at least a year since they released their last major update.

I'm using Proboards, it's a bit of a learning curve for me especially as far as the ACP is concerned, but I love it all the same

Never use ProBoards it does look confusing even when viewing the forums.
