Worth buying IPB for now?

Discussion in 'vBulletin' started by maney, Oct 12, 2006.

    I'm currently running phpBB and I can't stand it. Is it worthwhile buying a yearly licence to IPB, building the forum up for a year so its financially viable for me to get a full vB license, or should I just wait for vBulletin.

    I'm really loosing my rag with phpbb :p

    Get vbulletin no point in invisionboard its absolute crap. (All my members ive ever had in my lifetime of forums think so.) And using it usually drives away a large percentage of viewers.

    I have never used IPB though I've registered at many IPB boards.. believe me I don't feel like posting there. I second Alvin's standpoint here.. VB is indeed worth every penny.

    Hah, yeah, a testament to that is DP itself (it's vB-run). :)

    I think that the wait for vbulletin is worth it, nothing is even near it.

    Never liked IPB, was alright for a free board but there is no way in hell I'd ever pay for it.

    vBulletin ftw :D

    All my forums are with vbulletin
    -they have a great and active community where you can get hacks for free
    security wise:they update the software regularly

    and it's very easy to use;
