Oh no, they're rubbish. Use VBulletin, please! It's a much better system!


You're wrong. vBulletin is outdated. IPB is superior.


In what ways? vBulletin is more secure, it has more features and add-ons, and it's got a much nicer UI and choice of themes. The only downside is that it costs about $70 a year, but with all the donation and ad money WP's bringing in, that's hardly a lot, and hey, I'm sure the members will even donate for it if you think otherwise.

vBulletin > IPB.

Every forum I ever go to uses vBulletin (i think).
But what is superior about IPB?

We're completely upgrading Wrong Planet's forum software in the next couple of months so this will be a feature we can add after we convert the site to a newer, feature rich web platform.

Ooh that makes me feel so excited - I can't wait to see what kinds of new changes the update will bring! :D

vbulletin used to be better but IPB has recently surpassed it in features and addons.

I use both IPB and vBulletin forums and I think that vBulletin is definately superior. But hey, it's your forum.

Would Wrong Planet still look the same after the upgrade?
