I have to disagree. I would much rather have vBulletin. I've used both and think vB is more user friendly. I don't care how "pretty" it looks. I can change styles if that's a concern. I think vB did suffer after they got bought out, but when Kier left, he reinvented the wheel with Xenforo and ended up with a square. I would run SMF or IPB before this if it was my site. Just my $.02...
