vbulletin is the better forum software but I have never really found it to be worth the 180 fee, so I just use simplemachines which is a free forum I prefer to phpBB.

do you know phpBB is having security bugs?

I like vBulletin better and it only cost me $85 USD for a year! The script is great and there are hundreds of mods and themes for it.
phpBB is okay but I don't really like the overall theme of it.

Vbulletin is better, thats why its a paid forum. I have only had one forum and was skint so i used phpbb which was good enough for me, there is enough mods but if its going through i security issues then i would steer away from it for now

Personally I prefer vbulletin over phpbb especially in terms of security but I doubt that it is worth the fees.
You could use smf with the same success.

vBulletin is the best. No doubts if you are going in for a paid script.
For a free script i would suggest that you use SMF rather than phpBB.

I love the iTrader feature in vBulletin. Does anyone know whether it is also availible for other forum scripts, like SMF and phpbb?

Hi

Until before 3 months i believe phpBB was one of the best forums but i think i was wrong as i see a lot of spam there so now on i will stick with vBulletin ! Its a bit expensive but i believe its more professional

Thanks

PHPbb is not as good as Vb ...... Vb is giving us the facility though it is expensive but we can get the facility ....

I don't like template forums but phpbb is better

PHPBB if you just started and needs not to invest $$$

VBulletin if you have budget and this system offers more security and features.

Vote goes to vBulletin. One of my favourite Forum.

First i had Phpbb3, but after some months i changed to VB. That was good change

I think Vb is better than Phpbb, though it is expensive you get all all your doubts cleared to maximum extent.

vBulletin is paid and has a lot of features, however the new management that took over the company screwed up the latest version in every way possible. I like vbulletin but I have to abandon it because I'm not satisfied with how things are going right now.
