Me and my girlfriend are thinking about starting another forum, our current forum is powered by vbulletin and were thinking about getting an invision power board license but not sure whether to or not.

What do you reckon?

Thanks

If you are experience with VB makes sense to stick with it IMO.

IPB mods are not installed like VB, you have to manually edit files. Whats the new project then? ;)
