Only three forum softwares I know that are free. MyBB, phpBB, and Forumotion. I haven't seen or heard of any new ones that have come out.

Actually, there are quite a number of them - besides what you mentioned. However. the most popular ones I'd assume would have the best selection of add-ons and themes - so I'd figure that's why it could be better to go with them.

Anyway, who has tried the smaller companies like FluxBB, MyLittleForum - stuff like that? I haven't really. I've only messed around with the big shots.

O.K., I think people could be narrow-minded on this issue. Why not try out some lesser known stuff? I mean, regarding other things, sometimes I want to try the local restaurant - not another Burger King or McDonald's, right?

@Required https://www.woltlab.com this is something I just came across. You can pay for some things, but the core product itself seems free. It's a forum/community software with built in SMS. Seems like something worth checking out, and honestly looks like a better alternative to MyBB or PHPbb.

Woltlab is paid. Anyway, you get free support, but the catch - is that faster support is $149.99 a year (Note: the core software is cheaper than other paid brands.).

ahh, the core is free. But you have to pay for the forum. I see now, my bad.
