IPB vs vB

I am starting a gaming forums soon, and wanted to get some thoughts on which to go with. I am leaning towards IPB because thats the license I will most likely be able to get.

What are the pro and cons you guys have experienced with both of them?

There are about a million topics on this, nothing new has came up to cover.

vB.
No contest really.

is it because the plugins?

vBulletin.

Easier to manage and customize.

Okay, thanks for the info Brad, I probably will go with vB then

VB Is great, Although i have always preffered IPB more.. Think this is a kind of debate that cant really end, Alike whats better "PS3 or 360?".

I think that both are brilliant little pices of software. I think that it comes down to both personal preference and what exactly you are going to use the forum for.

I have always been a vbulletin person myself but on my most recent project have been playing around with IPB. Although I am loving IPB at the moment, there are things that I am missing like the vbulletin.org community with loads of add ons that just aren't there for IPB. I think if you want just a forum that does the job go for IPB, but if you want to build on the forum, add more features and make it into a community, your better off sticking to vb.

I used to be a "fanboy" of IPB a long time ago. Since they were Ikonboard. They have changed too much to look like Facebook almost plus their team changed a lot. Whenever I went with vBulletin and got my license, I've never looked back.

there we go.

Yeah, thats the way I'd go. Have owned a license for years, need to upgrade though.
