vBulletin vs. OpenBB vs. The Whole World

I fully believe that some (free) boards could be developed to offer such competition, if developed correctly.

OpenBB has been said to offer competition with vBulletin, while currently it does not, it could if the correct features were implemented.

I honestly was going to use OpenBB for HiveMailSkins until I did not see a permissions system. OpenBB was just as easy to skin, just lacked the single feature that was needed.

Permissions System has become one of my #1 priorities for OBB2. In the areas of Moderation and and Usergroup. Currently the only contributing permissions system that stands is a Usergroup to Forums preference. It was the base system and has been unchanged up until now. I'm currently taking up the responsibility for the system to be up to date and complete by v1.1.3. I appreciate your input Jonathon.

P.S.
OpenBB v1.1.0 is coming within the month of February.
