IPB vs MyBb?

[Naiwen]

I prefer MyBB over IPB because it's free.

Both are very good osftware. If you can afford an IPS license, I would recommend going with IPS over MyBB, however, as a free alternative, MyBB is a bit more powerful than say Jcink/IPB 1.3.x. If you have your own hosting already and don't want to spring for the money for an IPS license as it's pretty pricey these days then MyBB is a great alternative to it.
