    vBulletin is my favorite also. Lots of features and I figure if you're going to try to make a success you should invest in a paid software.

    Perhaps Jelsoft should improve their clearly lacking convertor / password checking routine

    SMF for me.

    P.s. not this topic again?

    vBulletin. Someone who won't invest in their community should reconsider whether being a forum admin is right for them.

    Eh? So because someone evaluates that vB offers them nothing (well less technically in my case) over a free software, they shouldn't run a forum?
