Stable, User Friendly, Affordable, Customizable

The fact that it can run so well even if you have only 1GB of RAM! I highly recommend this to anyone who needs an easy-to use webboard with forums embedded in them or just wants something very simple but secure out there - This fits both those criteria perfectly as far as i'm concerned (and free!).

Pros
  • Very fast.
  • Easy setup for basic users(admin)
  • Customizable templates available by default along side preloaded ones.(modifiable)
Cons
  • Not much documentation present online apart form official manual
  • No support forum provided anywhere except via emailing system
  • Doesn't provide any way whatsoever regarding password protection

Pros
  • Lots Of templates ready made
Cons
  • There are disadvantages
