To clarify, this Forum uses vBulletin. However DMOZ/ODP does not, it uses a custom modified Berkeley database together with flat files.

This forum is not an "official" ODP forum, and it is run by several meta editors, not the paid ODP staff. It runs with the blessing of ODP staff, but it isn't their forum.

The internal editor forums do not use Vbulletin.

phpBB is the internal forum software, so I guess that makes it king then. ;)

I really like the idea of using vBulletin and leaving the old forum behind. :cool:

V-bull and phpBB are the leaders in community forums. Since phpBB has a PR 10, and developed by the phpBB Group I would say they are king. Both have some advantages/disadvantages depending on the user's experience and needs.

Not to argue, just a question if phpbb has a PR of 10 that doesnt means to me they lead forum software

vbulletin is ofcourse the best and preceeds phpbb.
comparatively there a large no. of features and ofcourse the technical support. :)

Thanks for the heads up on IPB. I checked them out. What I like is for $20 a month they will host it on their servers and will give us FTP access to modify skins.

Cheers,

GT

V-Bull

V-Bull is gaining market share, while phpBB is losing share. phpBB has not come out with their new update yet though.

Invision Board is gaining lots of shares (and attracting potential customers and vBulletin users). Too bad Invision do not offer free trial licenses.

Until version 3 was released, there was still a free version of Invision. UNfortunately, all they have available now is a limited trial that has been encrypted so you can't view the source :\

Haven't looked in this thread in a long time. One comment though on a semi-ancient post above, phpBB is NOT the only free forum software.
