A thread like this just shows how much vb users don't know about enterprise software. Jive is enterprise software. It is built to be used on large sites by large corporations. Enterprise software is rarely flashy with a lot of UI features. It is built to scale. It has features that vb will never have even with hacks. The db layer is built to use the high end options such as Oracle and DBase.

The price isn't bad when you consider the only other enterprise forum software that I know of is Open Topic.

You have to look behind the UI to see why Jive is worth every dollar they charge.

All very fair and true... but look at the huge vbs out there, vb is 100% industry standard etc complys to a heck of a lot, and is written in a non commercial language that isnt gonna cost companys more ??? to have a server running a db of oracle etc???

Also these users will be running sites from huge servers etc...

So wouldnt software that was not only industry compliant but with a huge public follwoing and knowledge db be better?

But hey what do i know lol
