vbulletin or IP.Board?

IPB all the way. IPB 3.1 looks amazing so far (the beta).

 

No, it's just not a fair way to make money. Customer satisfaction at vBulletin has gone down since. Kier Darby is gone.

IPB hasn't had a price increase in the last 2-3 years (last one was when 2.2 came out). After what happened at vB, they could've, but didn't. IPB didn't rush the release, hence you didn't get a Patch Level 4 two sub-versions in. Their $195 license doesn't even INCLUDE upgrades and support.

 

ofcourse it does, you get upgrades for the whole series, like all 4.x.x upgrades.

I've since sold my IPB license and found a used vb 3.8.x version to use, it's still solid and supported and I like the way vBSEO works with it.
IPB is nice, I had a lot of fun with it and LOVE IP.CONTENT!! I really wish vB had something like it. But long story short, I didn't have time to relearn a new script, I know vB like the back of my hand.

So my suggestion for someone who has no experience with either, I'd say give IPB a look. But if you do know vB and like it, I would stick with the 3.8 series because 4.0 is still not ready unless you fix the bugs yourself.

 

IPB is much better than vB, and it's cheaper. There's no comparison.

 

Can you show me where IB has said that? I have seen some of the VB forum users says that but never IB or it's staff......

 

actually i prefered using vbulletin. since 4.0 there are a lot of features there . . like cms and blog on publishing suite. and that is very amazing

 

You do realize you can get that with invision power products for cheaper? IP.Board, IP.Content, and IP.Blog

 

i like IP Board rather VB
as they cheaper they have many feature bulit in rather VB..
and mostly I like their warn system

 

Well guys does IPB cause server lag issues ?? does it hog memory

 

Go for IP.Board. Please do.

 

IPB has a better messaging system IMHO.

 

I just went to upgrade one of my vBulletin boards from 3.5.x to 3.8.x. vBulletin is forcing me to purchase vBulletin 4.x at $175 in order to get the 3.8.5 upgrade (and all it's security patches). This is criminal. FUCK VBULLETIN. IPB here I come!

 

vbulletin is the most used forum software and is liked by thousands, vbulletin everytime for me

 

There might be more free hosted forum than vbulletin licenses out there..

 

Vbulletin as digitalpoint lol
