IPB or vB?

[Sønic]

*If this has already been posted sorry.
I personally like IPB better.

 

[TinTin]

VB.
Never used IPB

 

[Mac]

IPB here :P

vBulletin OR GTFO

 

[mister_X]

vb also

 

[sherwood]

vBulletin for me.

Only reason for that is that it was the first forum system I used as I couldn't get the hang of phpbb when I first started off with forums.

But IPB looks cool to.

 

[LordKJ]

phpbb :P
but from these vB

 

[heyagain]

IPB is Best

 

[The Dude]

phpbb3 best

 

[Pyro]

IPB FTW
...message too short...

IPB has nothing special that sets it apart from the rest, excluding skins, but only the custom ones look good. vBulletin on the other hand has a unique set of skins and better modifications, more security and more users.

vBulletin, no doubt.

 

[StupidGlitch]

How you can you say vB has "more security" over IPB is beyond me.

 

[DJGaurav]

Anytime VB Is Better Than IPB In All Terms MODs,Themes And Support

 

[ACE]

vbulletin :nah.

*cought*.

vBulletin: $180.00 (owned), $60 renewal/year
IPB: $149.99 (lifetime), $25 renewal/6 months

on topic:
Take in account that IPB is more secure, faster, easier to administrate/install mods and has way more futures and I think there is no reason why one should go for vB other than ego, ignorance and fanboyism.

Not in the new version 3.0.x

It's got a hook/plugin system now.

See, that's why I mentioned ignorance. Agreed on IPB 2.x installing mods was often a hell, going trough tons of file edits. On IPB 3 there are no file edits whatsoever. Import and you're done. And from a developers point of view the hooks/apps system is a better design than vB's plugin system.

Btw, on vB you're still left with skin edits. IPB 3 has none of that.
