I like vBulletin much more because of the control features built in for Admins. A lot of the stuff phpBB2 offers that vBulletin has you have to mod yourself. Things like the birthday hack, and to prevent robots from registering are major hacks...these are already in vB.

It mainly deals with if you're willing to pay or not. I got tired of coding the hacks myself that's available to vB owners, so saved those pennies to buy a license. If you love forums but can't spend 15hrs a day with tweaks and modding, get vBulletin. Saves you many l-o-n-g sleepless nights and eating Motrin like candy!!

One other thing: support is truly support. Try getting it from phpBB2 sites without getting grilled. One twerp there was enough to get me to buy vB outright. :angry:
