Vbulletin or IPB?
I have to make up my mind about which one I want to go with. Maybe you guys can help. My forum will be mainly for techys with forums like consoles, OS, Hardware, Games, etc. I also plan on installing an arcade either v3arcade or ibproarcade depending on who I go with.
Any input please?

I've used them all. Vbulletin has the best reputation security and business wise.
Go with vbulletin, surely wont regret it.

IPB is better, but vBulletin has a better reputation. Try both and see which you prefer.

I personally like phpBB and IPB. I have many clients using IPB and they seem to love it as well.

I have both vB 3.5.3 and IPB 2.1.4
My choice? I like vBulletin better.

Flip a coin, whatever wins, use that software.
Do a search on this mboard and you'll see 2,305,655,069.2 threads on vB vs IPB.73's, Kim
Everything happens for a reason I make up.

Neither. I recently discovered MyBB It's basically a free version of Vbulletin, almost identical in every single way, yet I seem to like it better than vbulletin for some of the original features it has. If you prefer support and a larger number of mods, you'd probably be better buying Vbulletin.

vB is the easiest to customize in order to get some revenue off your site. There are dozens of banner hacks available. Google AdSense and forums go very well together $$$.

MyBB is no where close to vB 3, vB2 maybe, but absolutely not 3.5 'all-wise'! it reminds me of phpbb btw.

It's almost a complete clone, I can't think of anything that Vbulletin has that MyBB doesn't. The only real advantage of Vbulletin is the Support and the huge amount of mods.

We`ve used IPB for several years now. Never really looked at anything else, because we`re happy with what we have. Recently upgraded to 2.1.4. Easy the setup and administer, and reasonably easy to customize. They also have a large modifications community on various sites around the net.
Each to their own I suppose.

Just because it's popular doesn't mean it's the best. Windows is the most popular OS and it's most definetly not the best, just like how mp3 is the most popular audio format, yet it's not the best either. Should I go on?
