IPB has plenty more features than IF, but personally I dont think its worth buying a forum so I prefer to use IF.

yeah, I agree. I don't really see the point in buying a forum. :P

IPB all the way, has some awesome features in the newer releases. In comparison IF is beginning to look aged.

However, it is free, so you can't complain too much ;)

My closing comment is that if you are serious about starting a community use IPB. Your members will benefit greatly from it.

You're posting on one now O_o It's just that this is IPB1.3 modified and hosted by IF.

I think IPB is much better. Yes, IPB is a paid product, but it is certainly worth the money and has more features that most bulletin boards don't have.

IPB hands down.

Free is nice too, expecially if you were lucky enough to get a free copy of IPB 1.3 back when they distributed it.

IPB is of course better. The moderation sytem in IPB 2.0.4 is just simply amazing, much better than IF because it's quicker and more efficent. I also love the announcement feauture something that I miss a lot in IF. IPB is just amazing, I think. I also do not think that the admin cp is too difficult, there's simply more stuff but you can get used to it in a short time. :)-- the only sad thing is that you've to pay for it :P

That said, IF is really a good board for being a free board. I really like it, but if I could, I would upgrade it to IPB.

I have answered so many of these topics i'll try and draw out some of the main points. If you have money, IPB is the only choice you really should be considering, (of course vBulletin p3wns all but lets not get into that jugganaut of a debate) more features, more support, more modifications, development etc ... you can do just so much more and you are much less restricted and hindered if you where with IF. Now though, if you are without money, or are not confident enough to shell out money on a new internet project then IF is the crop of free forum hosts.

Is it not too much to ask to have some reasoning behind your decision? :/
