I'm developing a forum and I want to use a PHP based tool.

Which is better? (Money is NOT a factor.)

vBulletin
phpBB
Invision Power Board

Thanks.

I frequent more than a handful of Internet-related forums on a daily basis (some even hourly :D), and only 1 of them is NOT using vB.

It's almost unanimous. vBulletin appears to rule to roost.

It appears that you get what you pay for.

Thanks for the input.

OK... I'm sold. Just bought a leased license of vB for $85.

DCC checkout www.vBulletin.com for pricing.

Thanks guys.
