well, even vBulletin has hacking vulnerability, so doesnt IPB, MyBB, YaBB, Ikonboard, Burning Board, phpBB, everything has hacking vulnerability.
but al it needs is usergroups, subforums, and the possiblity of a horazontal postbit, and its my #1

...they do, but not as big as FlexBB's at the moment. MyBB is updated with security fixes as they come, very quickly. IPB and vB are paid softwares and are _very_ tight.

And no one wants to use Ikon, Burning, or phpBB 2.
I'm guessing that flexbb will come in late october or early november but for now, who knows

I don't see why they are sueing, IPB is a copy of numerous other forum softwares. Unlike IPB, vBulletin continues to just focus on new features NOT new ways to make money off of copies.

Lets thank God, vBulletin has morals otherwise MyBB would be dead~

I like pretty much all of them except for ones that are just horrible. Ex: Proboards. I would say that MyBB is my favorite. It is easy to set up and easy to skin, althought it has some security vulnerabilities, it is still a great software. I mean my last forum got hacked twice when I was using it, but you just have to keep up with the security updates.

um proboards is a forum host, they use a copy of YaBB Gold.
and, vB is good, IPB is more appealing, MyBB reminds me of IPB 1.3 FINAL mixed with vB, thats just me, dont jump down my throat.
I just like simplicity, and I think FlexBB has simplicity and good looks

I loved IceBB but I never knew what XSLT was so I never actually tried it.

My favorite is vBulletin, then IPB, then MyBB, then probably some of the ones I haven't had experience of like FlexBB and IceBB, then YaBB Gold, then SMF and then phpBB.

Don't ask me why. SMF and phpBB just tick me off somehow. <_<; Well, I don't like SMF's URLs or its user CP and user profiles. (Is it just me, or is it a lot like YaBB Gold? That's more or less the reason I don't like that either.) And phpBB... don't get me started on just how much I loathe the look of SubSilver, and how much some of its default features tick me off (such as placing a huge LINK to the thread itself at the top for the thread title - who the hell thought of that? Thanks to its size, it's way too easy to click on by accident and waste a page load. Also stuff like not indicating which thread you're replying to anywhere on the reply page, etc.) Also, the amount of things you need a mod for in it is ridiculous. I like hacking, but I really prefer having my basic stuff already in, thank you very much.

Still not going to sprite for your fangame. Sorry, but I don't really sprite or give out permission for people to use my fake Pokémon anymore.

SMF and YaBB Gold are similar because they are made by the same company. :P

Yeah, like Kenny just said, SMF and YaBB are made by the same company. SMF is actually the successor to YaBB SE, so that's why they look so similar. The main difference is that YaBB Gold is Perl while SMF and YaBB SE is/was PHP.
