Look at it this way you buy a VBulletin owned license it's $160 (without a bulk discount), then support is $30 per year. IPB standard which is the equivalent to a VBulletin owned license is $150, then support is $25 every six months. Also the standard license only comes with six months of support and upgrades, while VBulletin from the start comes with one year. IPB costs more to maintain than VBulletin. Also VBulletin has the leased license which at least is getting your foot in the door for paid forum scripts. IPB probably hurt themselves when they got rid of the yearly license also. | ||||

But my forums moved to a network site and ended up needing to use their proprietary software. But I've recently gotten the itch to start up a new set of forums for a different subject. And of course was looking back at IPB since I was familiar with the admin side of it (up to 2.1 I think). But reading through here makes me 2nd guess restarting with IPB. I have always thought it was a great piece of software, but is the latest pricing scheme a deterrent? What exact feature(s) of vB would I miss out on IPB?
