    vBulletin or phpBB? which is better?

    ok, so i've been procrastinating on getting my forum up for my blog network, and i'm thinking it should be my next project, but i haven't decided on what to use yet, vbulletin or phpbb. they are both free to use aren't they? which do you think is better?

    GFY operates vBulletin and in my opinion it's far superior - just take a look through the logs here and you'll see that GFY hosts perhaps millions of threads and countless individual posts with ease. I've used both myself and personally prefer vBulletin - phpBB seems "amateurish" to me.

                There's a reason vB costs money and phpBB is free.

                          There's no way to compare these two. vBulleting wins by miles.

                          However, an interesting debate can arise from the whole Invision Power Board and vBulletin competition.

                          I agree with adultpir. SMF is a lot better than phpBB.

                              i don`t like vBullitin becouse its comercial, i don`t use comercial scipts if there are free ones in same quality.
                              I used PHPbb for a long time but i got it off becouse i got big trouble with the security wholes.
