Why UBB Threads?

    I don't understand why some ppl are still using or buying Ubb Threads when this is really a crap software with awful interface. Why they spent $199 that thing? Maybe because a lot of webmasters don't know that out there are some other forum scripts? I really wonder, that's why I ask here :)

    Would you believe there are still people upset about the break off from UBB to vBulletin? and that these loyalists are what make the world go round?

    Many people like to stick to what they know... it's one of the main reasons I enjoy vB and won't switch from it. It's also why many people back IPB 100%. So long as there is support, and as long as there are people supporting it, then it'll be around.

    As for it's quality, I personally can not say. I've never tried it... but why do you think it's bad? What's actually wrong with it's interface?

    The features that it gives are less than a free forum solution. Why pay for this when you can have more for free.

    Qryztufre, every forum that runs UBB Threads I have seen is ugly, that is what is wrong.

    Aesthetics? yeah, that does not count as a real problem...sorry.

    Many feel that vB is hideous. Many feel that IPB makes people's eyes bleed (I'm actually one of them, I won't even be a member on an IPB board).

    Either way, looks does not mean it's crap, or that it's awful software... it only means that you think it's ugly.

    Sorry,
