Which CMS is good to integrate with forums? I vote for sub dreamer.

Can anyone suggest me some good CMS that is for free?

Actually, it all depends on the purpose for which you need the CMS. I am using Drupal and Joomla/Mambo and they are the best CMSs around. In my opinion, the former is more former is pretty user-friendly and easy to customize while the latter has a bigger community and more support forums and extensions.

When it comes to a CMS, I would suggest you to consider Wordpress. Wordpress is the best CMS available as for now and it can be integrated with forums very easily

To be really honest, there are many CMS's out there to integrate with your forum. Do you run Vbulletin or phpBB or any other ?

Personally, I don’t like CMS’s but I have seen Wordpress integrated into phpbb forum some days ago and it was looking pretty good.

If you can spend some amount of money for vbulletin, I would suggest to consider vbulletin and integrate it with Wordpress.

The reason for this is the fact that vbulletin is the best Forum application available as for now with great features and I think Wordpress is definitely one of the best CMS's available and a combination of these two would be great

However, before you do this, I would suggest you to check the Wordpress version as I have heard that vbulletin does not support some of the versions of Wordpress :(

Best of luck!!

I ever participate in a forum integrated to Wordpress. It is funny. When you log in as a forum member, you will be led to Wordpress login page. It feels like you are logging in to the admin area. But overall, it looks great.
