Elxis with vBulletin vs SMF vs phpBB

(1/2) > >>

cfb1972:
Hi Guys,

I'd like to use Elxis as the skeleton for a community website (hence Elxis will be in the root directory) and I'd like to use an external Forum for discussions.
My questions as follow:

1. My first preference is vBulletin as I've used that forum software in the past. Question: is any bridge out there to make this integration flawless?
2. Is there any other bridge to integrate well with Elxis I mean any other capable forum software?
3. I see you use here SMF...is this good compared with vBulletin or phpBB? My community can grou up to couple of 1000s of users...
4. From your experience would be better to place my forum in a subdomain or alongside Elxis? If Elxis crashes will Forum crashes as well if placed under the same umbrella? I see you here at Elxis use the subdomain but I would like to know why? Is this just a personal preference?

Thanks for your support,

Bob

Any reason why you don't take in consideration to use ELXIS Eforum? I didn't see it mentioned .
I can understand your request if we, ELXIS Users, don't have any component forum but we have E-forum and it's native for ELXIS.
Who can warranty you better than that ?
Bye

I want a more advanced Forum component ...although eForum might be an option in the end as it will provide better integration with the Elxis CMS...

I can undertand that E-Forum is early but for what I've seen it has all the feature that a forum should have. What option is missed in e-forum in your opinion?

First of all Elxis don't crash  ;D.
Amigamerlin  beats me as i can see.
eForum take a look on that component here : http://wiki.elxis.org/wiki/Eforum and read carefully all of advantages here : http://wiki.elxis.org/wiki/Category:Eforum
