Forum software comparisons
I apologize in advance if there is already a post like this, or a link to this already. Oh, and also, sorry if this is in the wrong place.

A while back I was talking with someone about the features of certain forum software, and the cost, etc. and I came across this comparison guide on Wikipedia. I found it very complete and helpful for people who are trying to figure out which software would best fit what they are trying to achieve.

Any opinions on it?

Except that you don't get to play with any of the Paid Forum software there. So you couldn't demo say VB or IPB. Where as you can in our demos.
