    Recommended Forum Softwares?

    Which of these require the least amount of bandwidth monthly? Say if I the same traffic as RaGEZONE.

    Simple Machines, vBulletin, XenForo, or Invision Power Board

    Also balancing out both memory and features included.

    If you have the same traffic and worry about bandwidth then you are doomed , lol. We get millions of page views a month so a startup site wont even get close to that. If you want something simple then go with simple machines. If you want allot of addons use Vbulletin. If you want stability use Xenforo or IBP.

    Memory usage is down to the amount of users. You'll want to run allot of caching on your setup too. I've got memory cache, opcache and allot more just to stabilize everything. Vbulletin has intergrated memcache but also using vbseo for other stuff you can use an opcache like xcache too.

    All depends on how you want to run your board.

    I've always thought Vbulletin looked the best.
