I use both WebWiz and PHPBB on diffrent clients forums, I use PHPBB for clients forums if their website was already in PHP and vise versa for ASP and Webwiz.

In my humble opinion Webwiz is far more secure and wellbuilt than PHPBB, also i personally reckon it's quicker, smoother and better layed out.

Thats not to say PHPBB doesn't have it's good points, the commnity is huge and the amount of mods, skins and extra graphics is huge.... Altho when Ver8 of Webwiz is released i can see the same thing happening. ]]> Wed, 15 Mar 2006 09:40:42 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/how-does-this-board-compare-to-phpbb_topic18656_post101314.html#101314 https://forums.webwiz.net/how-does-this-board-compare-to-phpbb_topic18656_post101302.html#101302 Author: cmeurer

I've read some scary stuff about PHPBB being un-secured.  I like the "feel"  of this board much better... cm]]> Wed, 15 Mar 2006 00:17:21 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/how-does-this-board-compare-to-phpbb_topic18656_post101302.html#101302 https://forums.webwiz.net/how-does-this-board-compare-to-phpbb_topic18656_post101248.html#101248 Author: thataintchicken

PHPBB has the clear advantage (and disadvantage) of a larger community.They have a total of 238,669 registered users, while we only have9,210. This means they have more skins, mods, and other attachablebells and whistles. Where WWF shines is the coding. WWF is faster,smarter, and more secure than PHPBB by far, and I believe that WWF issimply better all around. It is definatly much easier to skin and modthan PHPBB.

Soin the end, you're basically weighing between Bells and Whistles andFunctionality. Even though your pretty much choosing the forum thatmatches your server operating system, I still believe WWF is #1.

Ive never used phpBB but from wat i know, phpBB has tons of security holes which are digged  by hackers day by day, while webwizforum, i believe, provides a better security so far.
The speed of phpBB is faster than 7.x (trust me, it's true :( ), butit's abit slower than 8.0, however, about skins, phpBB looks betterthan wwf so far cause it supports round conner.
  and lol, alot more differences but i dont know :D, for me, i only use wwf.

I've never really used phpBB so can't really say what the differences are.

But, phpBB is written in PHP which runs best on a Linux/Unix web server and Web Wiz Forums is written in ASP so runs best on an Windows IIS web server.

So the software you use largely depends on what OS you are using for the web server as to which one will perform better for you.
