Default Invision Free vs. VBulletin

I am currently a user of Invision Free. What I want to know is why would VBulletin be any better, and what features VBulletin supports that Invision Free doesn't.

vBulletin uses Javascript to allow much easier editing, locking, and other administrative tasks

Dude you must be joking right?

The name says it all invisionFREE!! usually whats free is not the same as paid. Well vbulletin its great and i think its the most user friendly system and very customizable forum software out there. Here they have tons of hacks and on invisionfree those hacks are free and limited well here hacks are also free for licensed members but they are complex and most of them supported.

in conclusion vBulletin is better then invisionfree by far.

Run borrow your moms cc and buy vBulletin NOW!:up:

If theres a bug its fixed right away, there is always support for vbulletin as it is paid. I think its a lot easier to customize vbulletin than anything else. As far as performance i would probably say vbulletin is better, they have a caching system as well as hooks for better execution of custom made plugins. I used invision years ago and never liked it. phpBB i think is bad too, im always seeing boards with phpBB getting hacked.
