Are these boards free or somthing? I have always just used phpBB, as its free, does what I need, and I can install it on my own box.

Lol, you actually made a thread about this. Better than discussing it in 'Winamp...poor' thread i guess.
It's also notoriously full of security flawsI remember hearing that some pro hosting services don't want their members installing it in order to spare them the problems.
I like IPB, or at least I did until they crippled the free release of the 2.0, which was barely an upgrade from the 1.3.x version.
Yeah, it requires some work outta box, i'll admit. Most of these flaws are people whom don't know how to run thier database or install PHP though. Most tthe flaws are easily fixed by some good directory managment, and a can do attitudeIt's also notoriously full of security flaws

what does this have to do with the lounge? of course, I don't know where else to put this besides Gen Chat...
So move it to GC.
vBulletin is far superior to the alternatives - but it's only worth it if you have the money to spend on it. Second, I'd probably go with IPB.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
Invision Board is 1000000000% better than vB2 (with respect to code quality and performance). (nearly everything is better than vB2) However, with the coming of vB3, Jelsoft pulled the gap and now both of them are nearly neck and neck. Both have unique features the other doesn't. I personally would be happy using either.
phpBB isn't "riddled with security flaws." It did have a few major flaws that were quickly fixed and the developers are constantly tackling any issues that arise. The reason that many hosts canned phpBB was due to a vulnerability with awstats as well as a PEAR bug in php, both of which got blamed on phpBB. Also, many phpBB users and hosts didn't install the security updates when they came out. If they had, then less people would have been exploited.
phpBB3 Olympus will certainly give IPB and vB a run for their money, especially since Olympus is free.
V bulletin is awesome cause you get usernotes
WHY ISNT ANYONE POSTING IN MY USERNOTES!!!!!!!
