UBB.Developers Forums General Discussion Suggestions and Feedback The future of UBB.threads

After much reflection, I see the trend for InfoPop is a more "serious" customer. Their price point will drive many to VB who would otherwise not want to spend the additional money on sites which generate little or no revenue.

To me, VB is the middle point between the free products and Threads. Cheaper, but the code is bloated and having the templates (and images, and basically everything!) in the database is a real PITA. Want to update a template, you cant edit a file - you have to use their web browser interface to update a database variable which then uses str_replaces to populate its template. A world of difference from the Threads implementation.

So, in the end InfoPop has decided to focus on the "serious" customer and let VB and the others have the low/middle end. Kind of like a car dealer that only builds high end models. [/]

But what about UBB.classic? UBB.classic costs more than vBulletin, but as stated earlier, the top choice people make from switching UBB.classic to a PHP/MySQL solution is vBulletin.
