hey guys?
Howcome B1 uses Invision Board?
Its not free is it?
Why not use phpBB.
Uses a MySQL DB as well, and is free
Also has avatars, signitures, and other info as well as private messages.
Why we paying for something we could get for free?
Just a thought
regards,
Mo

I think IBF is still Free. Sony confirmed it in the following thread.
http://www.betaone.net/index.php?showtopic=32438
You can use it as much as you want for evaluation purpose , if you like it and would like to stop evaluating it they suggest you pay for the registration and to remove the trial form the bottom of the board
Cheers,

PHPBB is absolute PANTS!
IB is much better. There is always Ikonboard as well for a free bulletin board. Thanks for the heads up Bads, didn't know IB wasn't going to be free from version 2.0 onward.

I used to use PHPBB with nuke on an old version of my site. It sucked big time. Sure its free, but I could never get the hack I needed for it. I just found it lame. it still is IMO.
I think Invision board is great, even 1.3 is great for free, far better than PHPBB IMO.
vBulletin is good, but you pay for it, you pay a heck of a lot for it!

I use Invision Power Board 1.3.1 + MyIbportal 1.2
I like them because there are many Mod to install for your needs

SO far the good ones they come out free then they want you to pay
hopefully 2.0 won't cost you an arm and a leg
ps
what was the reason the ipb staff left again. I mean the reason they left vB i think.
