I like vB, but at times it's really slow loading =/ A tad too tabular.

I tried IceBB a while ago, and I liked the way it was set up, but it was seriously lacking.

SMF would be my favorite free software, and mU would run SMF, except for one thing. Horrible skinning system. Jake won't touch it with a ten foot pole, and Ty, Paul, and I won't even look at it. XD

The forum system on IceBB is godly. The style as well.

But the AdminCP is oddly set-up... at least the last version I was using was.

You coulda just done a google for it Bugsy >_>

*wonders what happened to common sense*

iceBB uses XSLT which only a host can activate, so I highly doubt you would be even able to use it.

has anyone ever tryed proboards?
I'm sure everyone has tried ProBoards at least once.
If not, then I assume they never wanted a forum and/or thought it was crappy before using it.

What is this "common sense" you speak of? :P

I used Conforums at first, and it was just ridiculously un-customizable. Proboards supposedly has more, but I decided I'd rather move to Invisionfree. Besides, there were countless bugs in it like users and threads just disappearing without a trace, and that must be a bug with the software, not the host...

Of course, I've now realized that I CAN just install PHP on the other server and get a proper, ad-free board. =P But Invisionfree isn't too bad for now, and I'd rather dream on about vBulletin and perhaps make it come true than install something free...

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.

vBulletin is a ideal forum software for larger sites, because not only is it hack friendly but it really does integrate (if you do it right) and a very good way.

You should NEVER get a vB for a site that makes less than 100 UNIQUE hits (and not pageviews :P)

Mine gets 700 unique a day. =P So yes, I should get vBulletin.

The forums get over 400 unique visits a day, have nearly 211,000 posts out of a year and a half, and over 800 members (650 who have posted)... more than 70 topics have been active in the last 24 hours.

I don't get why people mess with a winning forumal >_> they never are happy with what they have, they try to perfect it a little bit more and more and eventually it just blows up in their face.

IPB is NOT that much different in vBulletin (in some ways) so why spend 80 dollars on a one year license?
