RE: Discussion Zone, IPB? - Flippy - 08-08-2013
IPB has nicer themes which that means they will be more expensive, but not DZ would not be the same because of the New Points addition with all of it's features.

MyBB is good enough. and the site is looking good right?

IPB > All, no questions asked.
IPB has more hooks/add-ons, better looking skins, better developers, a MUCH bigger and better community, more customizable skins (along with it being easier).
The ACP and MCP are easier to use, and have more functions and tools for you to use, making things easier on everyone.
I could go on and on, but I'm too lazy to right now.
So, you are an IPB fan ?
vBulletin is easily the biggest software in the industry.
RE: Discussion Zone, IPB? - Wonders - 08-08-2013
I would be down for a switch to XenForo, but not IPB.
vBulletin is by far the most purchased and used software in the industry, no doubt. It isn't as good as it used to be, though. The latest version(s) suck ass and you really need to use v4 or v3.
RE: Discussion Zone, IPB? - Kureo - 08-08-2013
Of those two options I would say that MyBB is the better choice. Since its simple, attractive and easier to use. Also, so many sites uses IPB these days that it is getting boring to watch. On the other hand, switching to XenForo is another option, though most people seem to dislike that software for some reason.
RE: Discussion Zone, IPB? - Canadian Geek - 08-08-2013
I doubt DZ will ever leave MyBB. There are too many plugins that other software doesn't have. If Blue ever did though I would say we should go with XenForo. It feels cleaner and less bulky than IPB. I love them both but XenForo would have my vote. Blue already said that he's not switching but I just wanted to add my two cents.
RE: Discussion Zone, IPB? - Karma - 08-08-2013
I don't think that Blue will do this. He spent a bunch of money for custom plugins.
I don't like IPB btw.

I'd wonder what DZ would look like on vBulletin, since it also got a lot of plugins.

I don't think this type of site would suit vBulletin.
And what would happen to the market?

I've seen vBulletin forums with some kind of money system before, so there might be a dev that's capable of making a Market plugin for vBulletin.
