I think forums are probably a bit easier to use and they are available from everywhere. Another option might be mailing lists. Anders .

Guest Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 Message from: "Farshad Mohajeri" Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to find an up to date Windows = based news server software. There are solutions which offer both forums = and newsgroups which can be synchronize both sides (like one Embarcadero = is using), but all of these are enterprise level software with big = prices I guess. We will continue another month with current newsgroups until when I can = decide for right direction. As for forum software,I ruled out phpBB as I didn't like it for some = reasons. Remaining choices are IPB, vBulletin and YAF (Yet another = Forum). IPB seems to be faster and less bloated than vBulletin. YAF is = ..net based and free. It really looks good, but not in same level as = other two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
