Thats only because they didn't have features like inline moderation back than, you can't hold it against them.

Atleast you could buy a IPB license for only 30 bucks and save 20 bucks for like a week of Mcdonalds XD

Wow that completely made no sense so please turn a LIGHT on! I don't have a n00bese translator on hand -.-

And IPB has alot more features than vB, a vBulletin is perfect for one who knows alot about customizations and can install a lot of confusing hacks.

vBulletin has a bigger ACP because it is all put together on one nav bar on one page.

IPB is seperated, which I truthfully *love* I mean it gets confusing when your trying to navigate vB's ACP.

I might buy a IPB license myself.

ok i must agree with you there but...vb can also hold alot more members and *attracts more members* than IPB and can also hold alot more posts...i mean IPB can reach the same as pcommunity but ipb would be slower than a vb board and pc has alot on right now(posts,members)and it aint that slow..and plus it has to hold all the pics(avatars,sigs)ect for the members...IPB is good but not as good as vb when it comes to "power"

Wow that is probably the most n00best post I have read in 2005.

If a IPB is slow it is BECAUSE of the host, NOT the forum software itself. And omg IPB and VB can hold the SAME (unlimited) amount of members, posts, and threads (and pictures) that their host can handle.

Wow, I am seriously embarrassed to talk to such a n00b. Please don't comment unless you are sure your knowing what you are talking about because your looking completely n00bish to me, and I don't feel like calling someone a n00b before I really know them.

And IPB actually attracts more members because of its easier navigation system, plus it's default skin is PURE eye candy.

All right, Bugsy, know what you're talking about before you post... >>
I'm thinking about buying an IPB too, Richie...the only thing that keeps me from it is the lack of plugins. =/
And vB's admin CP is really powerful, but horribly designed. =/

No worries Robo,

Very soon IPB will include a plugin system, they are known for taking vB's features :P

So be ready for the BlazeMan to switch ships to IPB

Hehe. I'm using IPB 1.3 final, hosted for free by invisionfree etc. And i can't really tell the difference to VB. And as long as it's functional and better than phpBB, i'm happy. It's a shame that the "proper" IPB isn't free anymore.

I cringe at things I've said here in the past years.

Well, if you have a low budget just go with IPB.

If you can afford vBulletin then go with it.

It's not that hard to choose =/
Thats a perspective of what n00bs believe, but that is so uncorrect -.-

It's like this...

Small websites and not well trained Webmasters: IPB

Smart, trained, Webmasters (with large sites): vBulletin (if you really must)

I think people assume vB is automatically used for any big forum, when it is exactly the opposite. Outside of pokemon, IPB is the choice of webmasters.

Well, I still adore vBulletin, so there. :P IPB is annoying in many ways, besides that a buckload of hacks for everything one could think of = love.

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.

Olympus looks really nice, except for the fact that they've been developing it for almost three years and it's still nowhere near beta... x.x

Kinda like myBB... "Gold (1.0 Final) will be here in two or so weeks!"... in October 2004 >>
And we're still waiting x.x

Seriously I am quite disgusted with the progrssion of phpBB, I am becoming more of a IPB fan myself because of how more feature friendly it is.
