I have noticed over the past year, a lot of the forums I goto are moving from UBB to VB. Thing is, I can't work out why. I do not like the look and style of VB and to me it seems a little more amaterish.
Plus all the hacks that are available on VB are available in some style or form for UBB. The only advantage that VB has, is it runs entirely with PHP while UBB does not, it merely runs off CGI and does have a PHP accelerator which most hacks just have problems with.
Now I know I am going to get a one sided opinion here and I am not asking which is better, what i am asking, is why are so many people transferring to VB? Is there some reason? Is it cheaper? Easier to hack?
Thankyou.
