Vincent]And that person should really be banned lmao He posts a thread for a flaming war instead of an answer, he is shown how vB is better and has nothing better to do thn say "suck my burning waffers" and is a phpBB fanattic that will never like vB because he can't afford it =\

vB is just plain out better.
XMB - not enough hacks for it to be actually good.
wBB - a rip off of vB and has an annoying posting error. wBB v2.0 is going to cost money also.
phpBB - I've heard the template system was complicated but I have yet to try one so no real comment on it.
EZboard - okay should I really even say anything about this one? It plain out sucks.
vB - easy to use template system, great support, more than enough hacks, three communities now( http://www.vbulletin.org here, http://www.vbulletintemplates.com vBT.com, http://www.vbulletin.com vB.com) each with great members, plenty of hackers to give support on their hacks, vB is just plain out better ^^

vB is the reason why I even started to learn PHP. Anyone that wants a GREAT quality board would buy vB, the freebies will go with phpBB lets just leave it at that :P
