vb is far better than a lot of the other boards out there - whether paid for or for free
But and yep there is a but - vb has a long way to go before it over takes the other free boards for hacks or skins.
Now dont get me wrong - there is some decent people on here who will bend over backwards to help u solve a problem or make hacks for everyone to use but lately im seeing `if u want it pay for it kind of approach` and i think this is gonna be more common in 2005 as the trend is deffo leaning that way.
At the moment anyway dont knock the other boards cause u will find hacks that u used to have aint available for vb3 (vb3 cant cope with amount of hacks that other boards offer for free) Example - look for a FREE paypal integration hack - u wont find one whereas other boards throw this at u for nothing.Is many other decent hacks that are available for other boards but not vb3 like decent downloaders managers.
Now the good news - vb3 is the best board without a doubt - it has many good hacks and proberly a lot more to come - u need help u post on here and people will always help u in whatever way they can so i aint knocking vb at all but just saying be sure its what u want.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
