    vBulletin and IPB are both great pieces of software...in all honesty, they both do everything that 99% of forum owners need...It all just comes down to personal preference and special needs.

    Do you have anything special that you need out of this forum?

    If not, I would simply go with vB because it is the cheaper of the two, and just as good, if not a better product.

    Personally, I prefer IPB as I feel it's got a bit better of a community building aspect in terms of which mods are available, but that might just be because I haven't explored vBulletin as much as IPB.

    Both are excellent pieces of software.
