i've never known vbulletin to be unstable or unsecure or even slow
altho IPB is faster

Here reason Vb is better then IPB The main reason, since IPB went p2u like VB is IPB price is insane it's 185 to own it and it only gives you a yr support, they have no option as of yet to pay 30 a yr or more for support, True they have intergated gallry & Bloging system now, But those both cost 50 & 60 each. Right there is over 350 in a investment for IPB.

Also Linux is okie but, Linux like mac has no real game support, sure it is getting better games, but at the rate it's going most people will stick with windows.

& linux won't really be that great after 2007

However, I would apprecaite if someone could point out some clear advantages by using vB instead of InvisionBoard, phpBB etc.

THANKS!
Take a look at the vBGallery and the vBadvaced Portal installed on my site compared to the pretty basic gallery and half hearted portal system you get with Invision (no comparison). Not to mention all the cool hacks on vB.Org and vBadvanced to make it even more cooler like I have done with my site. Click the link below and take a look for yourself (the proof is in the pudding so to speak)! :D

Oh, and YES! I am an "ex-invision" user by the way. Need I say anymore. :alien:

However, vB make you remove your yearly leased board after 1 year, IPBs version doesn't force you to do this (its also cheaper), it would be nice if vB did this as well.

With a leased license you pay for the right to use vBulletin for 1 year, including 1 year of support and updates.

With an owned license you pay for the lifetimes right to use vBulletin, and it comes with 1 year of support and updates. If you want to update to a new version that is released after your first year of included Upgrades, you can purchase a new year of updates at any time (for the renewal you will pay $30).

It doesn't make any sense to allow you to use the software on a leased license after your license expires, since you paid for 1 year of use.

Yeah...

That explains why IBM has invested $1.5 Billion a year into Linux and will continue to do so. There's more to computing than running game servers.

Yes, they do. If you buy the perpetual license, you can then pay an additional $30/yr for support. It's just like vB, except it's reversed... upgrades are free, and support must be paid for.
