Installation, backend, ease of use for moderators and admins, their support is much better.

Out of curiosity what do you see better from IPboard over vbulletin?

I've been involved with enough to know that IPB is the best.

How many of the alternatives have you run a forum based on?

I shaved a few days ago I'll have you know. :lol:

You should trust me since I run a forum based on IPB, and it's miles better than the alternatives.

I trust mack on this, his beautiful neckbeard is his credibility.

vBulletin > Invision Power Board

They aren't. It just seems that way because they spam so prolifically.

Maybe they're being paid by this person/group.

Just seems weird that a real user on he gets banned quicker than these "bots" do.

:-s

Delete forum, rebuild with Invision Power Board.

The forums shall now be known as Ben Tre.

Whatever gets rid of the bots :lol:

One day you guys are going to push him too far and he's going to set the building on fire.

Oh, oh, and I almost forgot. Ahh, I'm also gonna need you to go ahead and come in on Sunday, too... uhh explore some of those options.

-PB

Options are being explored...

If memory serves the idea was thrown about with the last prolific wave of spambots but dismissed on the grounds of not wanting to discourage new members from contributing.

But I think the Pro's are starting to outweigh the Con's and with the forum as busy as it is these days it wont' take long for new members to rack up 25 posts.

:lol:

FTFY

This.

I'm a Jerks supporter. I have to go through life assuming the easy, sane & simple option is something that management will never, ever do.

Do you not think that if this was possible they would have already done it?

Do what -p"l"b and/or afro said - make it so you need a certain number of posts before starting a new thread. Or make it so your first few posts need to be approved by someone, or something.
