phpBB, myBB, or SMF?

Hi everyone, I want to make my first forum discussion web. Which software is better, SEO friendly, and most secure? phpBB, myBB, or SMF? how about joomla with forum plugin (like Kunena or something), is this good??

I need the answer... thanks, would you give me the review of these software too? thanks..

 

Definitely Simple Machine Forum (SMF). I had very successful and collecting over 5k users within' a month and they are very easy to install and very easy to add several plugins and also easier turn it into portal/cms better than PHPBB, and MyBB isn't very nearly as good as both. SMF is best out there because you're able to install any of plugins you wish inside administrator and PHPBB you would have to add everything manually going files to files which taking forever and more difficulty for beginner. And with SMF they have heavily anti-spam with repcatcha and several others to stop spamming as well. And also it's very easy to change things around on SMF rather than confusing PHPBB, and MYBB looks too cheap-ish and way out of style as if it's very outdated. You would success a lot with SMF than any others but if you have money then I highly recommend you go for VBulletin, as that's what DigitalPoint is using and you see how successful it is here with VBulletin.

There never is PHPBB VS MYBB VS SMF. It IS SMF VS Vbulletin, now that's real competitor. MYBB and PHPBB is not even compete with SMF, but Vbulletin is since VBulletin and SMF is very competitive each others.

 

thanks for all.. I'll try to use SMF

 

Definitely Simple Machine Forum (SMF) but phpbb is not to bad. I use phpbb and it's ok.

 

I used to do my work with SMF.

 

I fink smf is the best choise
