Invision Power Services is the company that is providing the software. However, Invision Power Board isn't free; a good open source alternative would be phpBB 3. I still think that IPB is easier to use and has more features though.

As for the main page, the software is Mambo. Should be free and open source software afaik.

I thought this forum was written by Se7en and then Wkkay added a lot of new features to the forum?

Thanks. As for testing up, better use those free one

I think i better try out phpBB 3 as recommended

Hi, I stumbled on this thread, so I will offer some insights which I hope will help.

Mambo came first, then the developers had some big disagreement and some started Joomla. Right now Joomla is better developed and has lots of forum support, and the latest version is Joomla 1.5.14 - www.joomla.org
You can start a website and use the numerous plug-ins/extensions for other things like forums, shopping cart & so many more.

Hope that helps...

Yes, that right... I also had build my webside using the Joomla platform.. so far i easy to handle just that not convinience with joomla v1.5 coz the platfor is to heavy and may take loong time to load if visitor using the low speed internet connection (my target not even for broadband but dail-up as well).

there is some similar platform for forum just like these lowyat forum that you can use for free.. try use SMF forum...

SMF is not as good as PHPBB. I would recommend you to go for PHPBB3.

i heard that ipb 1.3[trial final] is free..

for free forum.. phpbb3 is the best.. but not as good as the paid forum software..

i prefer vbulletin rather than ipb
