myBB is way different that vB, it's more like an IPB clone.

SMF. Free and took me about 30 minutes to clone an already-existing forum (and boost it with a few extra mods to keep it in line with x10's TOS (Ad Management), and give it a unique touch ).

Until SMF breaks I won't use anything else, I dun like spending $$$.

well its like this

VBulletin - For use by business such as X10Hosting. Looks professional and looks good as well.

IPB - For Professional web designers.

phpBB forums (myBB, punBB) - For fun free, beginner use. Also for use by professionals but tend to be good for the beginners.

SMF all the way

vB when I can afford a licence. Otherwise I make do without.

 

[Reclutador]

Hmmm nobody choosen IPB... Although IPB is good I preffer vB or SMF, it looks more "professional".

 

[Derek]

*Cough* SMF IPB And mybb and vbull I hate PHPBB..

 

[MicrotechXP]

IPB here.

 

[soten355]

I'd go with IPB or phpBB. Both are great, and one of them is free!

 

[noerrorsfound]

I voted vBulletin on the poll. A few years ago I liked IPB the most and didn't like vBulletin at all, but since then my opinion has been the exact opposite.

OvBB is a free vBulletin 2 clone which implements some vBulletin 3 features.

I think the best free forum is SMF although I don't like its restricted license (non-Free Software).

 

[TheJeffsta]

I like IPB better, easier to install, better looks, heaps of good modifications available.

Is vBulletin the same price as IPB?

 

[MicrotechXP]

Its much less, that the only price diffrence.
