vBulletin vs. IPB

[Comtech]

Steam/Valve Use vBulletin.
Many famous bands use vBulletin forum software aswell.

God(s) use GodBulletin, so, I guess we know which forum software is the best. End to any debate on what the best forum software is!

Once you get me a statistic, then you'll be right.

I am always right & you are always right.

There are no wrongs to behold.

Psst... 5 comes after 4.

haha, well spotted

[T.S.]

At least freedom of speech has never been an issue here.

Unless you want to discuss possible misconduct by their "Anti Piracy Agent" Howard Spinks as seen during the "Hongfire Incident" exactly 1 year ago.

Howard is also the Anti-Piracy Agent for Invision Power

That is incorrect. All the piracy reports are handled through Invision themselves. Not sure why he has Invision listed on the client page.

Look at this thread for example.

Actually I found it really usefull: I've just bought a new licence. And the reason really was in the end this very thread.

Why? Because a discussion here about the product is possible. Because I've got a good impression of old ipb and vb customers and some of the threads have gone really deep into details about pro and cons of the software.

So thank you for that, you'll see more of me and myself in this forum.

Because maybe after they get reported to Invision, they are passed over to Howard to chase up.

Howards a nice guy by the way!

I heard Jesus himself used vBulletin.

Your words say that you don't like vBulletin??? So what' are you doing here if you don't like this software?

I can't see any legal reason why he couldn't if they were his client in the first place.

That is not the case though. Maybe Howard provided a link to the IPS piracy report as a nice gesture. But he has no part in the IPS piracy process.

Logically, why would a person who's making money going after pirated forums put up a link and potentially loose business?

Who said I don't like vBulletin? I have never, ever, said that.

I own a license...It would be very stupid of me to buy software I dislike.

Keep up to date Junior.

There are some, though we don't like to spoil our customers privacy

Yea like mine, I'm famous :P

On topic though.

I've used Invision (Tried it out on my localhost, didnt use it fully, never bought it)

And I have to say its hard to compare so I'm going to explain the major differences that set me to vB

1. Invisions permission system is a pain in the but, I prefer vBs.
2. I like Invisions Community Suite, then again look at the 3.7 stuff coming out, its about equal now.
3. I like vBulletins support, i dont have experience with Invisions tho.
4. I like Invisions WYSIWYG better, but vBulletin's is liked more by my community.
5. I like Invisions user profiles (Once again tho vB 3.7 is gonna be amazing)

All in all I found things I liked about both. Then there were some turn offs to. I should mention that either way your GOING to be happy.

With the upcoming release of 3.7 though, I'm glad the quarter landed on heads about a year back because vBulletin is about to kick IPB's butt.

But in its current state, IPB has more features. Once again tho 3.7 = amazing.
