Hi everyone...

I am seriously considering using vbulletin as my message board software, but..... I wanted to ask about everyone's opinion as to how Vbulletin compares to Snitz and Toast Forums???

Users seem to REALLY like both Snitz and Toast, and I am wondering about some specific feedback as to why a person would choose vbulletin over these other two BBS software programs.....

I know that vbulletin has great support..... as well as frequent upgrades and bug fixes.....

Has anyone had experences using Snitz and Toast, and felt that vbulletn was SIGNIFICANTLY better??

Thanks for the feedback...

vBulletin offers far more room for expansion

I used snitz once and never was able to customize it suit my needs - there's not ONE thing that i haven't been able to do with my vbulletin (i mean it's possible - doesn't mean that I know how to do it)

I am leaning more and more to purchasing and using vbulletin...

Thanks for your feedback,

I can't say I've heard of Toast Forums, but Snitz IIRC is ASP based, which means that with most providers you'll probably have to find a Windows Server with IIS, although there are extensions for ASP on Linux.

This means that is going to be far easier to find hosting for you vB forum then Snitz.

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