It has tons of features out of the box, a helpful community, and a nice staff. http://www.simplemachines.org I don't think vBulletin is worth the money. After trying SMF I am kicking myself for purchasing the vB license a year or two ago. SMF also has the nice database based post read tracking, something that vBulletin still doesn't even have yet (except in their new 3.5 betas I think). Not to mention it's 100% free and always will be. vBulletin only gives you a years worth of updates, and mine expired right before they released tons of new bug fixes. Give it a try. The SMF 1.1 Beta 3 is pretty stable too, and has tons of new features. :) -Mark
