    Yes, but it's so much easier with vBulletin.
    I do think that is the best thing to do. Even though looking at SMF, it's really a great software for being free. But if you want what is best, vBulletin is it :)

    You really haven't ever used SMF, have you? They have their "package" system which is virtually the same as vBulletin's plugins and products system. Adding (compliant) MODs is easy.

    And with phpBB, there is EasyMOD, which also greatly simplifies the task of adding MODs.

    I have used phpBB for 4 years. I know how it works, I know how to modify the template, I know what to install and how. I pride myself with some of the most remarkable phpBBs (even my webmaster forum was on phpBB and it was amazing). I am using only 1 VB on the forum I mentioned because webmasters are picky with the script. I think I won't pay for another license anymore since I'm very pleased with phpBB

    VB is much better, but only if one has a pocket in the first position...
