IP.Board v. vBulletin

Which do you like better? Please leave free forum software and other paid forum software out of the debate.

I recently launched a community in IP.Board because it's my favorite.

I like IP.Board because Invision Power is always innovating and looking to make things better. vBulletin is pretty much the same as it has always been.

IP.Board has a better template system than vBulletin, in my opinion, however, many will probably not agree with this.

IP.Board's ACP is much more comprehensive and original than vBulletin's.

Hmmm, I love IPB, the layout, the admin pannel is sexy, and it just work. VB is good too, I just don't like the mod control pannel.

There are some things that I don't like in IPB 3 that I love in IPB 2, partly because of the layout. IPB3, I love the header and footer, but I hate the rest of the layout. Other than that, IPB ftw!

When I get time, I will post pics on what I want IPB to look like

Have you ever tried making a skin for IP.Board? I want to but I'm terrible at making designs, lol.

No I havn't, I will just take a screen-shot, and edit it up in photoshop.

vBulletin because it is easier to mod, skin, and it looks better. I had a big forum that switched to IPB and everyone left until we switched back.

What was it about IPB that put everyone off?

I don't know about IPB but I like the VB as i used it once and I like it.

From a user point of view, I prefer VB as it's more straight-forward than IP Board. From an admin point of view, I have no idea as I've only used VB's admin controls. (For my own forum, I use myBB but that's not included. )

Vbulletin is more advanced , but vbulletin has very much buggs .
IP.Board is better only for design & styles .

I have used both before, i like them both: IP Board is more proffessional and clean. But vBulletin is more customizable and gives you more control than IP Board. If i had to choose, i would use vBulletin.

Although i absoulutely love the new default theme on IP board...
