well PHPBB allows you to upload previously made skins, as opposed to IF where you have to imput that whole code, but PHPBB is more complicated, my older bro uses PHPBB, and hes a really good skin maker, i love his skins, and i wanted to use them on my IF site, but i cant

They both have their advantages and disadvantages, you can't really compare them.

Like Pete said, you can't compare them in general.
I mean, if you want to customize it, phpBB would be better (As you can alter the coding behind it) but I find IF to be easier to use.
(Just some examples, there are, off cource, much more.)
(And I find most phpBB skins ugly as ****, but thats besides the point :P )

Due to the fact that you can't compare them like this (In my opinion), I voted both Yes and No. :)

Ugh. I hate phpBB. It's a security nightmare. (I just patched my IPB 1.3! No more calender SQL injection!)

Heck, I'd take MyBB over phpBB any day. And I really don't like MyBB.

You can modify phpBB so #### much. It easily integrates with CMSs and is constantly updated. What's IF got? The same plain features of an outdated BB with no room for customization or integration whatsoever. Javascript is useless when you want something complex - the board slows down way too much for it to be beneficial. And, they never upgrade. IF 2.0 was supposed to be out 14 months ago; that's rubbish.

(wtf, can't even say damn...)
