wow look at this

[msimplay]

how is an idea called stealing i mean pms they are like a standard feature , but someone had to have them first
every forum needs them infact eventually i would say forums will end up more or less alike if they strive to have extra ideas
which is why people think ipb is like vb where i think not at all alike
they share some features but they are very different as far as forum software goes
I mean even in hacks there are countless store hacks and karma hacks so is that stealing ?
no its just a wanted feature

Ie people will suggest features they want and as far as i have seen with ipb i've seen their suggestions section and i know that more or less they deliver features that people want in the next releases of IPB

ok maybe Crap was a little O.T.T - lets say its not my preffered board but u are correct in syaing they do have some of the bests hacks available.

It's all about having time for the internet, i can make 100 actions for the store but if you don't have the time for it then it ends quickly.

IPB is imo a great forum script.

They "stole" the ideas as it were, im sure vb3 had multi attachments first, then ib kinda knocked out a version of ther script with this... its well documented and what i thought was well known that vb and ib are not best of friends.... well this si one reason why

I don't think ibf is bad software, but personally since I've used vbulletin and then purchased my own, I have heavily favored its software.

As for the issue of features as a concern, I think that the better ibf gets the more danger vb is in, mainly because one is free software and the other is paid, and for many people, well they just can't stand to pay.

Well, seeing as how my `Store Hack` is going to be fully integrated/integrateable with all of my upcoming feature hacks, AND has some features that I've yet to see appear on the entire internet, anywhere, I figure you can say that Yes, vBulletin WILL have such a powerful thing, too

Plus, Lesane's vB3-version might be immensely awesome too, we don't know yet. (though his complaints about lack of time aren't exactly the most hope-inspiring for that, but... )

Lets not let this descend into another vB vs IPB debate

LMAO @ Vbulletin and multi-attachments first
what you on about it was a requested feature for ages on all forums
and also you can never Vbulletin was the first to have multiple attachments especially since
web based email has had this for years now

No problem - maybe nobody else answered the question because they didn't know yet whether there was going to be a majorly big one for vB3 or not.
