    Well I'm thinking of buying a commercial forum script :), I want to know in your opinion which one do you think is better ?

    In terms of

    1) CPU Usage
    2) Templates
    3) Functionality
    4) Simplicity to use
    5) Mods

    Well I'd realy like some input on this :) thanks ^^

    I'd suggest you to go for vBulletin.
    I was using IPB and shifted to vB and I am liking it.

    I have IPB...with all the suggestions for VB, maybe I should look into it. lol

    IPB however has a ton of mods available, and is very easy to use.

    I used IPB with my forums before, but vBulletin is a lot better overall.

    Need another vote for vB? I was a hardcore IPB user until I joined DP. Now I have completely converted over and I am loving vB. :D
