Re: PunBB vs PHPBB

PunBB = 259KB (compressed)

513KB (uncompressed)

phpBB = 670KB (compressed)

2.01MB (uncompresed)

punBB = smaller and faster than phpBB, most people leave websites if the page takes too long to load, I don't think this'll ever be a problem for punBB forum members (unless the servers playing up tongue)

PunBB would win out over vBulletin imo. vBulletin may be powerful but it's also very slow especially when it's a large community.

Dont forget about how a licence costs $160 to download it

Re: PunBB vs PHPBB

vBulletin is for serious forum communities that need all the extra juice (reputations, advanced moderation, PM-s, user managment, modarator controll, user notes, etc.) And I'm not so shure how well would PunBB stand with a couple of milions of posts, tens of thousunds of users, etc...

And people who have invested money in a commercial board like vB or IPB are more likely to have spent money on decent hosting.
