ForumMatrix - Compare Them All: There are so many forum products in the market today, and it’s tough to know what does which and what does the other thing.

To solve this problem, this is a handy site that lets you pick two or more forum systems, and then compare them side-by-side along such criteria as markup allowed in posts to database platforms allowed.

The criteria are all objective — this does this, and that does that. There’s nothing subjective, like “which one of these is easier to use.” That’s a tougher question to answer, but can be more valuable in the selection process.
