Don't you think the "Discuz!" is the best forum program of the world XD?

I don't like Discuz!, personally. It's too flashy and 'sorry sir no english' for me.

Actually Discuz have english version..lol
It's a fact that discuz have added too much things on it
you can use the older version of discuz (6.0)
If you want it I can find it for you

1. There's no official English version of Discuz! since version 6.0, according to Wikipedia (Chinese Wikipedia). Neither English version of Discuz!X 1.0 was provided.
2. Unlike phpBB, MyBB, and some other famed forum scripts, Discuz! is not open-source since its license don't fit the open-source requirement.
3. I heard Discuz! is still slightly faulty in supporting browsers other than Internet Explorer (largely due to the market situation in China). And it's known to have a worse performance.
4. I don't really trust Chinese softwares and scripts myself. During the years I have seen too many disappointing Chinese softwares, tons of malicious ones, poorly design ones, the ones that steal users' data, that eventually build up the strong discrimination. (I'm largely talking the mainland, not including Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan.) Well, before this kind of view fades away I will probably never try Discuz.
5. We are getting off-topic...

Not anymore ;)

But the English translations are horrible.

Correction: looks like a English version for 7.2 is available, a testing version: http://www.msg2me.com/

RichardGV: Two questions,
1) How am I supposed to download that?
2) Is it official?

2) It should be official, as it's indicated in a thread in the official Discuz! support forum (in Chinese): http://www.discuz.net/forum.php?mod=view...id=1794894
However, it's kind of a "nightly" version. There can be some issues in it. So, it's not really recommended to test it on a productive website.

1) You can get the latest nightly version here: http://www.msg2me.com/thread-3377-1-1.html
However, it requires you to register on the forum and have enough "golds" in the forum account...
(Eh, please don't ask me to fetch it. I don't have an account there, either.)

Or better said: There is no public english version.
