Since my last post IB has acquired a number of auto enthusiast communities. This is my market and is throwing up a huge caution flag for me personally.

After some research on the options I decided to go with IP.Board for my two new projects. It already has blogging, limited social networking, and a bunch of other things VB has been promising for years. (I've owned several VB Licenses).

I can't help but believe that eventuallly IB will trail the features in the commercial version versus what their own sites are running. It only makes sense. Can you imagine the boardroom conversations at IB if another site is out-performing an IB site using their own software?

If IB just acquired Jelsoft, that's one thing. They start acquiring properties in my space? Yes, that's a problem.
