Hey all
I am currently on PHPBB and over the last few years it's been a nightmare. My host has been blaming me for causing the server to fall over because of it, I have had lots of downtime and errors (wordmatch table crash) I have almost been booted off the host and I am looking for a new forum, which in their eyes, PunBB is the only answer.
I have seen VB and am interested in it, and just want to know what makes it better over PHPBB, as I have bandwidth issues they want to curb (a little over 20GB) and I figure that if this truly is the problem, then they will still not like VB as you have just as many little images as PHPBB that will need to be loaded. I have a very busy forum, I have been resorting to lots of post culling to keep things less of a load and just don't want to stress over this anymore. I get so many hits which my previous host said were quite a few hack attempts as is common on PHPBB and I am wondering if this will happen on VB? Will it handle a bigger / busier forum better and with ease? Will the Mods not cause as many issues if they were added on?
I am just so wary and nervous of making the same mistake, as I mentioned I have copped lots of crap from my host and my members are sick of problems too.
