ASP Forums that competes with VBulletin?

[iTec]

is there a forum equivalent to VB but in asp??
im looking at starting a mainly forum driven site and have been looking at forums, free and non-free and have found almost nothing that compares to VB, anybody know of any??? (links 2 please)
and yes i know snitz and idealbb but they arent quite upto what i want.

[Jeremy W.]

There isn't really anything in PHP or ASP that comes anywhere near vB... Many have looked, but everything comes up a far cry short.

[iTec]

im seriously considering becoming a php head... specially if theres nothing out there....

Thanks Jeremy

[Jeremy W.]

I'm not becoming a PHP head, I just made sure my new host allowed php and mysql on top of asp and sql server

[iTec]

Aik! good thinking 99`

cant you run VB off sql server? does it have to be a seperate db???

DO NOT DEFECT!!

I will be realsing an ASP forum that will hopefully reival vBuliten soon.

As sunny, the main point behind e4ums was to release and ASP forums that kicked everyones butt, and it will available soon.

Trust me

[Jeremy W.]

I said "now". I know our plans mate, but big plans require big flowcharts and you KNOW how much I love those!

[iTec]

problem number 1 with wiating for e-4ums...

ive seen how much Jer makes you do all the work D.. and ive also seen how many "projects" he throws your way ..... i cant wait 10 years for this.

try;

www.idealbb.com
http://forum.snitz.com

[redemption]

i was gonna say idealbb too...

and yes i know snitz and idealbb but they arent quite upto what i want.

As has been said, there's nothing as good as vB out there at the moment, sadly enough. And as tempting as it is to write something like vB in ASP, I don't have the 2 years it'd take me (and we'll ignore the fact I probably don't have the ability either ).

[blackinwhite]

actually open source forums like snitz cannot be compared with some "products" that is sold.

open sourcescodes are those who want to improe the code,and use in its own.

like what I did for Snitz: http://www.akfel.com.sg/forum

there are many more variations of it, like threaded snitz

[iTec]

yer, im not really trying to get a free asp script up against a paid php script... im almost really looking for a paid script as i havnt been able to find one free.

[Jeremy W.]

e4ums wouldn't be free, don't worry

[iTec]

WHAT!!

not even for meeee???

Pwettty Pweeease

Trust me

You seem to be a fine programmer, but forgive me for saying I don't think your script will rival vBulletin. phpBB's basic layout and features match it in most ways, but even then, it cannot even ATTEMPT to challenge vBulletin's security and administration center...the latter is the one thing that it seems to have a complete stranglehold on. If you do indeed create an ASP version worthy of that claim, congratulations, I'll be the first to virtually shake your hand, but I have serious (yet respectful) doubts.

Anyway, ASP bites. Just thought I'd mention that. The syntax couldn't possibly annoy me much more than it does.

The source of vBulletin is open.

But vBulletin is not open source.

That said, this statement:

is utter rubbish. If open source products can't compare with stuff you pay for how come Apache is the best web server on the market?

Skunk,

I think blackinwhite may have been suggesting that open source products can be better than some products that are sold. I think his endorsement of snitz suggests this.

Correct if I'm wrong bw.

Never said it was.

that was what I claimed.
If you put yourself into the hardwork, open source teams are learning together while working on development.

what is bad about open source codes is that they are generally not well-documented.

[Skunk]

Oops, sorry - looks like I got the wrong end of the stick on both fronts. My bad
