    The 1.1 series is five years old, and with a rapidly declining community (especially after what happened with the staff and Amacythe), it's going to be out of date.

    Then again, vBulletin under Internet Brands hasn't improved at all in their part.

    MyBB is good. Just two years ago, I was using SMF. I mean, Crip and DzinerStudio were my favourite theme authors, and I got most of the stuff I want done with SMF. SMF's Package Manager was convenient for upgrading, but it's like AutoMOD on phpBB for installing modifications, and will likely screw your forum over after several modifications installed.

    I went MyBB because of the Admin CP (the best in the business), and because of Google SEO, MyBB's best plugin. Obviously, both have pros and cons, so if you're SMF, so be it.

    Thanks for the feedback.... do you like MyBB better than VBulletin? I Think Vbulletin used to be a lot better.

    At this point, anything's better than vBulletin (under Internet Brands). Besides, MyBB has really come quite a long way, and it's almost feature-par with the likes of vBulletin and IPB.

    Moving from phpbb to mybb was the best choice I ever made. It's so easy to mod and edit things to your liking.
