Default vBulletin Theory
I have a theory in regards to vBulletin. My theory applies primarily to webmasters but I think it can also apply to users too.

The theory states: "Once a vBulletin user, always a vBulletin user. Despite all the other boards out there, one will always be a vBulletin user no matter how many times he or she changes forums types or locations. One will always return to vBulletin even after leaving vBulletin for a period of time. One will regret not using vBulletin in the first place when looking for forums to either particpate or use in their site."

Any thoughts/comments/suggestions?

Well ofcourse somebody who uses vBulletin would have to agree (well..webmasters maybe)

If you posted this topic on UBB forums, replacing "vBulletin" wtih "uBB", I'm sure most people would agree the same.

I personally have enjoyed my experience with vBulletin because of all the coding knowledge and skill I've gained.

I recently registered at an Invision Board though, and I must say they run very nicely. Some of the Invision Boards I have visited are fairly hacked up, but run and generate very quickly.

I've actually heard a lot of stories of people leaving UBB for vB.... but not vice-versa.

Hehe, but if you never post on some of the free boards, you may never make their webmasters addicted to vBulletin. I have a few webmaster friends who uses boards like phpBB and Invision Board. I post frequently enough to get people to visit my forums, and they always seem to be commenting about vBulletin and how fast, customizeable and beautiful it is.


In short, webmasters get jealous and now wants their own copy of vBulletin

i think that things will change, i thin yabb is a very descent board constantly looking forwards, and i could see them maybe becoming bigger than vb, phpbb is very good too.

vB is the best so far, because of its immensely popular structure, and wide-based information and support...
