Erm, I have a suggestion for the ProphpBB admin, I have an idea in mind which might help a lot..

I personally prefers MyBB to phpBB as it is more professional compared to phpBB, and MyBB's function is very similiar to the world's most popular forum software, vBulletin, and best of it, the downloading of the files for MyBB is free of charge!

I chose to say this here because I find ProphpBB hoster a good hoster, which is useful if you could add MyBB into this, giving people the choice of making a phpBB forum or a MyBB forum. I suppose that MORE people would love to use MyBB instead of phpBB, although MyBB isn't pretty famous, for some reasons which I am not sure of..

As php and phpBB is almost an industry standard and well supported world-wide I can see no reason to add MyBB to the pot. This host, as its name suggests, supports the phpbb standard using the latest version 3 gold standard.

While I personally have no objections to supporting or even promoting a minority format this host will not be going down that road.

I hope y'all will seriously consider about this as I would love to make a forum with MyBB, and at the sametime being hosted by ProphpBB staffs..

Welcome. So are you guys considering about that?

I highly doubt it, but we do appreciate all help from members regardless if their suggestions are used or not. We want members to feel free to make whatever suggestion they wish however, at this time, we are still trying to establish a phpBB host among the ranks of all other hosts.

Then thats dissapointing.. Never mind.. Keep up the good work anyway. But why did y'all chose phpBB in the first place? Curious to know.

Was the first forum software I used, back around 2.0.5 I believe. It was really stripped down back then, but it was free and had a large support group. I have extensive experience with vBulletin as well, but not with other forum software. It's best to stick with what you know, phpBB (or vBulletin or any other forum software) won't be everything to everyone so I understand where you're coming from. We'll only be hosting phpBB based forums.

MyBB is more similiar to vBulletin.. But do you know anyway to make the forum theme looks as if vBulletin?
I have the website for the vBulletin theme, but I've tried on MyBB but it doesn't work.. Is there anyway you can install it in? It is just a theme, which makes it looks like vBulletin, but not a vB hosting or whatever illegal stuff..
