Invision or vBulletin?

iLuv YOU ^_^

Making a goodie thread. What would YOU like better, and why? What are the differences you've seen? Would you prefer Invision Power Board, or the dreaded (IMO) vBulletin? I, for one, prefer IPB, as the ACP is easier, and isn't full up of that non-understandable stuff.

Brought up from the IFChatroom.

<KN> half of your members dont behave in normal topics

<Money> include*
<Matthew> calm down. if he didn't ask if he could make a topic he would have just done so anyway, surely
<Matthew> (if WindMage didn't ask)
* WM|Codin is now known as WM|Brb
<KN> and? o_O
<Matthew> and therefore he might aswell make one now. what's the big deal anyway?
* Brian_S loves Matthew.
<KN> just trying to save you from doing extra work
<KN> but no, dont listen to the person with logic
<KN> just ignore me as always
* KN sighs
<Matthew> mmmkkk :ermm:
<Money> Who is ignoring you?
<Matthew> apparently me
<KN> all of you dont know how to take advice and use it
<KN> or even consider it
<WM|Brb> ...
<KN> </rant>
<Money> Okay
<Matthew> look, we don't come here to get insulted by you KN. so take your insults and whining elsewhere would you?
<Brian_S> looks like Brandon is helping out in General Support
<KN> ...
<Brian_S> :)
<KN> i havent insulted anyone
<KN> o_O
<stormrtrooper9> 1 min
<Matthew> 'all of you dont know how to take advice and use it' -- sure you didn't. either way you're pushing it a little

IPB, I don't know why, but I like the look of it better.

IPB by far. vB just has that unprofessional feel to it.

only problem with IPB is that you have to pay monthly (if you just have to pay just once and that's it. that'd be nice) to use the software. I'd rather use a free host that gives IPB. and version most perfebley 2.x.x.

Not true to that last statem3nt-but, whatever. :ph34r:

IPB is great all around. VBulletin can be good [take Gaia Online, for example], but for the most part..eh.

I used to think having a VBulletin board would be the best, and I still think vB is awesome. IBP would be my favorite if it was free.

Atcually, you can purchase a licence and put an IPB 2.x.x board up, but it's something like $200 per board.

I don't like phpbb. The skinning, topic, and administration systems, to me, are lackluster.

I don't like the layout of vB. So IPB/Invision for me.
