MyBB Community Forums

Well after a couple of weeks testing MyBB out on my localhost I have decided start another project off running MyBB.

I have purchased a nice 4 character domain and I a have a test install ready to get things to my liking.

This is my first live forum using MyBB, my other forum uses XF and I would appreciate any tips & plug-in recommendations (Just general ones) from the more seasoned MyBB users.

Out of the box MyBB seems to have a spam problem from what I have seen so ontop of enabling cloudflare I will obviously need anti-spam plugins, So which ones are the best?

What other plug-ins and additions would you recommend to general MyBB forum owners?

Believe me, MyBB 1.6.5 is packed with anti spam features.

plus convert to reCaptcha and disable the built-in one

I like the Registration Security Question Plugin. It works great for me.

I turned off recaptcha and added the challenge question plugin. I use the stopforumspam plugin. I use the plugin that emails me notification of new members, so I can check them out and see what's what. I also use the plugin to get notified of every new post and thread, so I can quickly see if spam is going up. I have a very low traffic forum, though.

Was about to say if you ever get over 10-20 registrations/day and 50+ posts a day that's never going to work .

This.

custom security question will do the job.

No, it isn't. As always, it will be released when it's ready.

Malcolm was just saying that 1.6.5 will include many anti-spam features.
