vBulletin forum software

vBulletin is one of the most widely and probably the best Forum messageboard software. Although, phpBB is probably older and more commonly used, vBulletin being a commercially sold, is definitely ranks much ahead. I have always personally prefered Invisionboard as my choice of Forum and i have worked with it as well on multiple sites. But lately , i have slowly inclined towards vBulletin. I wont be going into the details, but recently i downloaded vBulletin for working on a project and have been tinkering with it. Many people are of the opinion that vBulletin is probably less design friendly, but who cares about design when the amount of Hacks or Mods available are far greater. Invisionboard has lots of Mods as well and a good modding community , but when i recemtly saw the number of freely available Mods in vB , and the amount of features, integrations and support that comes in it my mouth did start to water.
