VBulletin used to be good, but I wouldn’t recommend it anymore. Xenforo has been the superior product for years now. I would use SMF over vBulletin anyday.When selecting a paid forum software, consider factors such as your community size, required features, ease of use, and budget.
The best suggestion I'd suggest is,
vBulletin:
- Known for its robust features and customization options.
- Offers a user-friendly interface for both administrators and users.
- Provides advanced moderation tools and user management.
