Looking for opinions on my vBulletin vs IPB post

[Brandon Sheley]

I apologize if this is the wrong spot of not allowed, admin feel free to delete the thread.
I'd like to get the opinions of other forum owner on why you chose vBulletin or IPB on this blog post.
Are you using vBulletin or IP.Board? (#vBulletin - #IPB)
I've removed the nofollow attribute from comments, so the links will help you as well.
This post is geared around vBulletin & IPB, but I welcome opinions on open source scripts like SMF, phpBB, myBB or anything else.
I've had a few comments already, but would love to hear a few more.

Thanks
-Brandon

I may make a few edits as the day goes on, but it's pretty much done.

Thoughts?

I posted a reply to you blog Brandon, be sure to approve it.

My opinion - vbulletin/jelsoft should have offered some kind of article content management system years ago. And I dont mean last year, or year before last - it should have been offered 4, 5 or even 6 years ago.

Since I started using vbulletin I noticed one thing between updates - the project had grown stale. The attempts to add customized profiles were a failed attempt to keep up with the myspace craze going around at the time.

Instead of focusing on real changes - the management of vbulletin decided customized profiles were more important then a news article system, search engine friendly urls, built in sitemap,,,,,, and a lot of other stuff and customers wanted.

My opinion - the vbulletin project has grown stagnated and has fallen behind the times. I'am going to guess somewhere between 3 - 6 years behind where they should be.
