Giving In.

Okay, I admit it. I need a forum.

However, I've decided to be a creepy control freak about it. I'd just make myself a Talk About Comics forum, but I'd like to be infinitely more tacky and self-absorbed than necessary and have multiple miniforums instead of just one. Preen preen preen.

Can anyone recommend any good forum set-ups? Prefereably one that won't attempt tp eat me if another PHP worm comes along?

phpBB at www.phpbb.com - it doesn't get any better than that and it's really easy and quick to set up.

Long as you're running the newest version. phpBB was the one that was attacked by The Worm!

Invision Power Board is good, though I don't know if it costs $ or not.

Nothing's flawless. Well, nothing free at least. As long as you have all the security patches and stuff, phpBB is fine. But there is always Ikonboard....

Your recommendations are always appreciated, Myra.

I'm trying to beat phpBB into something reasonably pretty and Iron Circus-themed right now. We'll let you guys know when (and if) we manage to get our shit together.

Invision Board is free and I prefer it if you need the "way too many features that you will probably never use" package. Otherwise I'd probably go with something like PunBB (http://www.punbb.org).
