Invision - by a long long way
the old 1.2's can rival VB latest 3.5 version. ipb 2.0 blows it out of the water, in both easy of use, and fetures, as well as having a massive moding comunity behind it and a initly better servise.

i have to disagree :p

i was just wondering if u had used the new 3.5 if not ill tell u on msn the admin account to my test forum beacuse it is so easy to change things such as lock and open posts edit posts, all u need to do is click 1 button and it dont open in a new window, and the only thing i like about ipb is there defualt skin

No way man!
vB is one of the most complex forums ive ever used
Even the set up confuzzles you

But then IPB - Ahhhh my heart rests there

[the wombats]

its gotta be Invisions

[GommeInc]

IBP.

Firstly, IBP 1.2 and 1.3. Both are easily usable and both have been widely used and rivals vB by a long shot. I like IBP for it's userbility, an arcade, portal and gallery are great Mods to an IBP and are easy to use.

IBP 2.0 is a forum I have not yet tried, but I have looked at some and seen some examples and, in my opinion, it makes vB look rubbish. You can make more than 1 poll (sort of like multiple choice but you can make 2 or more polls). It has some similarities toa vB i guess, vB are more bulky and so are 2.0 in the skin department, 1.2 and 1.3 were rather neat.

The only thing i like about vB is the reputation feature
But you can get it on IPB as a mod anyways

IPB is far easyer to use due to better layed out stuff, so even thogh 2.0 is immency superior to vb, it still seems alot simpler, and doesnt have all the clutter.
Same with 1.2's they still rival vb, but reamin incredibly easy to use at the same time.

Vb has a rep feture, but it has no warning system at all "/

So that easly makes up for the lacking of the rep feture "/

There's a Kerma or something Mod on Invisionize, which is Rep. :p

[Owen]

IPB is well better like 2.x and all that :D

Agree, Its PWNZ JOO

[JoeComins]

The people who like vBulletin are people who like a challage and a brand, almost like Nike or Addidas rather than quality like Monitor and stuff like tht.

N00bs also like vB because they hear people talking about it and no that its good but do not listen to IPB :@

[GommeInc]

People only like vB because the company that run it are too security tight and you see many fake vBs, not many IBPs. ANother reason is the rediculous amount of money you pay for one, why pay for rubbish?

[xxMATTGxx]

IPB is well good but on my site i can only get the 1.0 or 1.2 for it if i wanted higher i would have to pay i think

[Haemogloben]

Hmm a Marmite thread. You either love it or hate it.

Personally I voted vB. You'd have to be mentally insane not to in my point of view.

Can you just point out one thing that actaly makes vb better ?

[JoeComins]

Yer. I was thinking that. Reasons or proof would be nice, or was that n00b comment I made right?

[GommeInc]

Proof would be nice, IBP has everything vB has and more!

[zainx]

so does that mean ur a noob games? as u was so desperate for a vb u had an illegal version

[JoeComins]

I wanted to try it because id never had it before, so now that ive tried IPB, vB is nothing compared - and tht was a long long time ago :P

[zainx]

2 weeks top, and the 3.5.0 will be alot better and there adding more and more features to each beta

[Mentor]

ipb is doing the same thing, athogh VB has some nifty fetures, none of them are realy that useful.
IPb has some realy sold fetures that make masive diffences to ease of use, and effectivness.

[JoeComins]

NAH. Never bet it. and it was about a few months ago :@ :P

[Rix]

Both the same

I personally Like VB, It seems easier to use.

Thats a first, most people say VB is the most complex and hardest to use "/

[GommeInc]

Hmmm true. vB is pointlessly complex

[Matty]
