Daniel0 Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Also, vB and IPB's sources are not publicly available, but available to a restricted type of people only (developers and anyone who holds a valid license). While these people are allowed to modify the code freely, they are not allowed to release and/or redistribute those modified files (because the original copyright holder still retain their ownership of the code).

Azu Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 If something free is better then something that costs money, then it is obviously better period.If there are free things that are better then something, and the something costs money; the something SUCKS.

Sorthy359 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 ive had alot of experience with all 3 scripts and i dont have a favorite.i choose based on how many people will be using the forums. if u plan on 800 people and below, i would pick phpbb2. if u plan on 800-2000 users,IPB(its a step up in features,and you need enough people on the site to fully take control of these features),over 2000 users i would easily pick vbulletin(big step up in admin features to control such a large community).

Gaia Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 IPB for me. Though vB comes in a very close second. They both have their pros and cons.

BoltZ Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I would have to say even though I have never tried it, IPB. Vbulletin is great and all but its wayyy too hard to find anything in the admincp. Editing one freakin file makes you google like 3 things, go through 10 templates and go through like 20 files, and 30 forum posts. Its ridiculous, not to mention the money part.

BoltZ Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 That was honestly the worst comparison I have ever heard of. Who wants herpes to begin with and who in heck would want to pay for it.

Plouplou Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 The best forum software is definately, without a doubt invisionboard. Costly yes but when you have it it is spectacular.

Mchl Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I tested IPB (on ehm... "I don't care about licenses" licence) and it looked really nice if overwhelming. I know however one of their client, who moved to another software, as he had feeling IPB support was not really responsive, while his forum was hacked into twice in short period of time. This was some two years ago however, so everything could have changed since.
