phpbb or smf?
Which forum software is the best, phpbb, smf or other? If other, what is it called?

It all depends on your needs. I personally like vBulletin; but it is commercial. As for the free ones, I would vote SMF over phpBB; however, I like the forum called Avanced Electron Forum (AEF) better than SMF out of the box. As far as add on modules, I would go for SMF because they have a full library of stuff (as do most of the others, but support for SMF is better).
Hope this helps.

"...however, I like the forum called Avanced Electron Forum (AEF) better than SMF..." How come?

Mostly just the admin area of the forum; simply because you can simply drag and drop the categories you add to the forum in the order that you choose. Also, there are a ton of functions that you just don't get with SMF out of the box.
Hope this helps.

Thanks! Is there a demo of other sites other than http://anelectron.com/board/ ?
Thanks.

I use SMF exclusively. They do lack a certain something though... and I had to write my own Mod for it. But I think it is the best free one out there (and better than a lot of the paid ones)

phpBB annoys me, and I'm now using smf.

Which one is better for spammers and spamming?

You mean to prevent them right? Well, all of them have some sort of CAPTCHA coding built-in, but as for the best, I would go with SMF for the free one and vBulletin for the commercial.Which one is better for spammers and spamming?
Hope this helps.
