There's an existing thread on this just a bit down the page.

Personally, I think it's a must. There are loads more features than what's in VB alone.

Though in the other thread, most of them replied saying it's not worth the extra cash given the fact VB can now do some of the things required.

I like the relevant replacements, tweetboard connections (though I guess you could get that without VBSEO, for free too) and some of the other capabilities.

I prefer the URL's vbseo can produce too, compared to even the VB htaccess edited URLS.

If you plan to make your forum big, then I'd go for VBSEO.

I can't actually directly compare my non vbseo sites to my vbseo ones, as they're different topics. Though I bet if I could, I'd find more traffic to the vbseo ones.

Plus, it comes free with Gravity Insights Premium at the moment which is $99 on its own.
