Default Is it worth it?

Is it worth getting vBulletin anymore? I am seeing more and more forums use PhpBB 3 even though it hasn't got its final release. Does vB have something that PhpBB 3 doesn't?

I know that before PhpBB 3 came out, everyone used to hate PhpBB and i don't even know any large webmaster forums who use PhpBB.

Most forums nowadays are based on PHPBB. VBulletin is on its way to the pasture.

phpBB3 is good, but vBulletin offers a lot of design features to be able to get a custom design up there with. It also gives it more of a professional standard, IMO.

vBulletin is pretty better because it has too many strong mods and plug-ins. PhpBB is also very good and very nice that it is free but I can't see the same strenght on phpBB based forums such as security mods etc.

I will admit that the phpBB has definately given VB a run for its money SEO wise. The scripts are set up perfect.

You still have to add Mods to get the forums the way you want them but they are free.

Personally though I am going to stick with VB as it is what i am used to working on!

For me, VB is the best. It provides you with more functionality.
