What should i choose? IPB, vBulletin or phpbb.

[Kw3rLn]

I am looking for a good forum that has alot of skins / themes. I currently have phpbb installed, but the styles are not that good. I have a gaming forum, not related to warez in any way. So what i want is a good forum which has lots of skins / themes and it looks very clean and professional. phpBB it looks so old, even if i have v3.09.

Any suggestions?
IPB or vBulletin?

I want to buy a premium skin for the forum, so thats why i am asking this. Which looks more professional?

I didn't know search button existed.

I am watching some IPB skins, but vBulleting skins are also great, can't actually decide. Which forum is more user friendly? IPB? ( i never worked with IPB )

I would reckon ip.board is very user friendly, it comes out the box.
unless your very stupid, u shud be able to easily handle ipb

I think i'll go for IPB, it has some very nice clean skins. And as i see, its user friendly. Thanks for the tips.

IPB v3

Many Modules encrypted in this version
just had it test on my l0calh0st last day i Just <3 it!!

vbulletin is easy to customize and easy interface
Just use 4.0.x whereas 4.1.x is not good

I have 2 IPB forums, 2 vBulletin and 1 php. ty

phpBB !

Been using vBulletin now for over 2 years, so I'm a vB-Fag :P

I have never tried IPB but it looks nice but it's also expensive as you have to re-new your license every 6 months.

I would go for vBulletin as it has more Mods, Styles and is easier to customize.
