    Either. Depends on which one I am in the mood for. Do not have the patience for a forum so right now not using it.

    Why do you hate it? vBulletin 4 has so many more features.

    Haha :P But something I really hate about IPB is that they went paid, while they had something like this on their site before: "PHP and MySQL are all free so why should pay for it?" But it would be awesome to see IPB free again.

    Yes I would use it to replace all my vB 3.8.x forums, I would however feel a bit cheated though, considering I've spent so much on licenses in the past and I'm sure people would get upset after paying $250 or $285 for the software :P

    I still have a vb3 license that I had before purchasing vb4. They both suit me but the xf format is so much more inviting anymore.

    I agree. Xenforo is a much better alternative.

    I made a nice looking new style in minutes last week. There is no way that I could have done that even in vb3 let alone vb4.

    Well I believe I have stated in the first post. But to the others who haven't they have to specify the reasons why... otherwise its not much of a discussion.

    I would use it if free, it's a good software too. And the IB Team is doing their best to make the vB ver ywell and sure I would use it if free.
