Invision PB or Vbulletin?

Thought I'd start a wee discussion on this. Would you go for IPB or VB when making a forum? Why? I like VB, for it's ability to be customised. Although looking at IPB, which I don't know too much about, looks really flashy and smooth. :cool:

The reason VB swings me is because so many people have used it (boards, askaboutmoney, etc.) that they'll feel more comfortable using your website.

I think it's pretty good. Beats PhpBB2 anyway. Thats for sure.

This may help you make up your mind. Hopefully it will...
