Ive tried it Still on my server....damn lock file pisses me off.

Anyway, I don't like it, I used phpbb before vb, and I have to say phpbb is 10x better then any other free board mainly because to an extent they have decent people there, OpenBB is just total crap, it may look all beautiful and dandy, but trust me you don't want to be stuck with a board with so many errors.

Also IbF hacks, get ideas from vb and ubb, so I don't know how a user at IbF can say, "Looky here, I thought this up, coded it from scratch, and it works so cool"

All I can say is hush children! hehe j/k
I have to say this Doofey character is the most decent user from IbF I have ever seen.

Dunno what u lot are talkin about
to be honest with ya
cuz i tried em all
on standard features mode
hmm
Vbulletin
whats so good about it anyway
all i seen is money being payed
Phpbb is good
and so is ikonboard
But i think invision board is tops
for quality
altho it has little customer support at the moment
things that are hacks on other boards are built in as standard on that board
i would know
cuz i been through the admin control panels of each of them
I myself have used Yabb
the user community for is much better than all the boards i have seen
i do not know why it isn;t even getting a mention
the hacks are fanastic
the support is prompt what more do u want
its not good to knock off other peoples work
cuz i have seen the features that each board has
i'll be honest with ya each one has its merits but v bulletin seems to fall short cuz its not free
and nuthing to bring above what the other boards offer

case in point, any free board is better than paying near 100 dollars for this. There are tons of free boards that can put out the performance that vbb can do and you dont have to update it every month or so because of spelling errors LOL!

i just cant wait for next week when i have to update to 2.28. :tired: or wait for the latest bug that "friendly" hackers find. About the customer support...there is no customer support. Forum members help eachother out here just as much as anywhere else. The ones who should really be giving support are out having a drink or busy counting how much money they have made. The vbulletin members area is just a glorified place to put in a long password.

Guys take it from someone who has made that purchase/mistake. Go get yourself a free board!

Guichi and others..

Hmm.. how interesting.. lately phpBB and IBF users come here and spam at our board or whine at us about "Free vs VB" I notice one thing about us VB members, we lately didnt bother, spam, whines, and insult others AT IBF and phpBB forums..

Now who are really mature and immature? Think it over cafefully...

As for "Free vs VB" Basically we dont care if you decide to choice free board such phpbb, ibf or even ezboard over VB and if you re happy with them then fine with us. We made our own choices and we re happy with it (even though we never regret our own decision.) VB give me many things that I want or need that which "Free" boards couldnt fill it up no matter how many verison they have to improve on.

Now go away and spam at somewhere else instead of here, we dont need that. We respect you guys by not spam, whines, bother, or to/at you guys at "Free" boards. So grow up... As Nakkid stated, I m aware of free boards but I dont want to use it, why should I? I was IBF/phpBB user before and honest with you, it is joke to have these on my site. Even if I cannot afford VB myself, I ll wait and save some $$ until I buy VB cuz it has stuffs that which fill up my needs.

Have a nice day

I think this thread has outlived it's usefulness (if it ever had one.) People who want 'free' have other options and they are welcome to them. This board is for hacks and the support of hacks for vB. Please feel free to continue your diatribes at the forums of your respective BB systems.
