                  I like my phpBB. It's free, you can mod it, and it self-installs on your server. It's also easy to understand and fun to use, imho.

                  I'll hit ya and give ya the one that I'm working with right now.

                      Because it costs money and a lot of forum users are aware of it. By spending money on the forum, you are showing dedication to your users. PHPBB might be good to kick off or beta test a forum but once it gets some decent activity, switch to VB.

                      There are many other reasons why VB is better. Too many to list . You get what you pay for

                          What about security, I dont want people hacking my board and messing with peoples html and switching stuff around. Which is better for security, if not the board then is it the host?

                                  vbulletin all the way.

                                  IMHO, it's just easier to customize.

                                  My icq # is in my sig, I'll be here most of the day so hit me up anytime you want
                                  SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

                                          phpbb will eat your server alive if you get many visitors and vB won't. Easy as that.

                                          When I got over 1000 members my server went down 1-2 times per week.
                                          After I installed vB I was never down again.

                                                  If they want to hack it that bad let them. Just be sure to backup the forum database every day or two or less (depending on the activity) so if a hacker or a mod wants to piss you off, you only lose a days worth of content and they will find their mission pointless and not bother again.

                                                  VB a lot a bit harder to set up but if you know how to follow instructions you should have no problem.

                                                          just look in the admin panel of em both, that right there will be enough to convince you.

                                                          VB = total control of everything. Can handle LAREG amounts of users on at once (gfy)

                                                          phpBB = just a very basic forum setup. Very good for smaller activity boards...Get lots of users online and trying to post at once, it will kill your server..

                                                              VB is the best.. Way better than PHPBB!
