If your willing to invest into Vbulletin then I highly recommend it!
Investing into Vbulletin opens a wide number of doors as there are so many addons avaliable out there. With almost 99% of the addons being useful. Its widely supported to extend functionality and every board is never the same.
The only down side to vbulletin is it can be quite costly. For example if you want a custom style that can set you back quite a bit, but its well worth it! Plus the licences can set you back quite a bit.

vBulletin of course :)

vbulletin period. I'm working hard to earn me some $$ for it.

VP · 08-02-2006

SMF. It's free, customizable, powerful, widely used and up to date.

Definately vBulletin! It is quite affordable at $160.00 for a owned license and only $30 the following years for updates.

Yes, VB I agree is the best. However many times, you can get similar features from SMF. So if you dont HAVE the money to lay down, go with SMF! Of course paid things are going to be better. Wouldnt you code better if it was your job compared to a community project?

i recomend IPB otherwise known as Invision its the best i think
however SMF is really reliable aswell

SMF For Free · 08-04-2006

Free I would go with SMF then MyBB. MyBB just doesn't have a large community yet.

Paid either vBulletin or Invision. I like invision better just with the admin interface but has a lot less mods then vBulletin
