Dont think "they" havent tried to convert me (the VB crowd makes up a very large part of PP's customer base!)
But I'm a dyehard Threads fan, so......
Giving props, though; VB does have alot of the "little" things I would love to see in Threads: Ignore User, Detailed Signup Page, PHP tags, EDIT Thread which lets you pick which posts to delete or keep all in one page (and delete means delete, not replace with holder!) and is about $70 cheaper, among other things.
