phpBB)

>LOTS of mods for it.

>Same as vB

Dislikes:
>Not free.
>No quick reply? (I think).

That I don't get about phpBB3 and IPB, neither wants to do quick replies. They don't want to add them for some reason. There's a mod for phpbb2 and I'm sure there will be for phpbb3 to add quick replies... Just don't get it...
