XenForo vs. IPB vs. vBulletin

[manic32]

PHPbb is the best!

I'd still prefer, vBulletin because I am so very much familiar with it and don't really like change; if your good at something, than stick to it!

However IP.Board is easy to design, and there are great templates around. Also lets not forget the new forum, XenForo which has had a lot of praise from the start - it's fast, sleek and very modern but for me it's always, vBulletin.

vB always, IPB and XenForo have this Javascript and HTML5 bullshit overload that always pisses me off.

IPB > Xenforo > phpbb > vbulletin

 

[damnyou]

[newuploader]

[filegrasper]

IP.Board damn sexy and high SEO

 

[MediaStar]

yeah, IPB ftw

 

[drokam]

the best vbulletin

 

[champ of champs]

I prefer IPB

 

[xenLiam]

xenForo fan here. vBulletin just looks kinda old, and IPB's a system hog.

 

[DSH]

ipb is best

 

[LeeTsHost]

vBulletin has to many vulnerabilities.
IPB is kinda slow.
Xenforo seems good as there are no vulnerabilities in it yet.

Safest which I use is MyBB and Xenforo.

Vbulletin Rocks... xD

More functionality.. more fun.. more flexibility :D

i run xenforo and IPB, and i vote for Xenforo becouse are cheaper then IPB, lifetime licence for Xenforo its 140 US Dollars+(40$ upgrade licence every year), but IPB are more expensive they require Core+IPB which is 175 Dollars for 6 Month+Renew 25 Dollars, also IPB are more required server resources then Xenforo, anyway like it both but like i said so vote for Xenforo.

vBulletin is a load of crap.
- bad support
- bad themes
- slow software, owing to the lack of neat coding
- it's a nice little pack of crap
- pricey as fuck

Xenforo is just
- bad
- no themes
- VERY GOOD support though, which is pointless if the software itself is shit
- VERY cheap

IPB
- great themes, and I mean, GREAT
- great support
- excellently coded, with meaningless coder comments in between
- not as cheap as Xenforo but not as pricey as vShittulin either

IMHO, most people who install vB haven't actually bought it and have no idea what they're doing. They just like using what they see that others are using.
