I've been using Snitz forums for a few weeks and really like it. Does anybody know if there is ASP.NET Forum software out there which is similar to snitz's ASP forum software?

I know that Snitz doesn't intend to bring out an ASP.NET version.

That's really impressive - thanks Podge. I don't have SQL Server running on my server yet so it's currently out of the question but a possibility for the future. Any idea if it would be possible to "upgrade" from Snitz to this one? i.e. preserve the topics and threads and user base?

Couldn't find much info about it on the site ruirib. Do you use this forum? Is it your software? Can you tell me more about it?

Thanks.

I've just taken a cursory look at the 4 different ASP.NET forum offerings mentioned in here and from my OVERVIEW I would say that the free one that drives the Microsoft sites looks like the best "buy."

I wonder if anybody has done a side by side comparison of all ASP.NET forums and published them anywhere?

It's a project undertaken by Nathan, a fellow Snitzer. As he comes from a Snitz background (and from what I've seen playing around with it), it's probably the closest thing at present to a .NET version of Snitz.

Between the four I've looked at

Community Server
AspForums2
AspPlayGround
Coreboard

Coreboard easily comes out best in my opinion.

Community Server is not the easiest to install and the forums are not very configurable.
AspForums 2.0 comes in second. Fast and highly configurable.

You say that Coreboard is also the closest to Snitz Forums right? Given that fact, is there an easy "upgrade" path from Snitz to Coreboard?

Would I be losing anything by moving from Snitz to Coreboard? And what are the main gains I would make?

Thanks for all your help - much appreciated.

I've been playing on all the .NET forums and have to agree that the look and feel of Coreboard wins.

I'm struggling to install it at the moment but I hope to resolve that soon.

You'd probably have to check with Nathan, see if he has a script for migrating your database from Snitz to Coreboard.
