I'm very used to phpBB system. I don't want to switch. phpBB is one of the best open source php boards :wink:

Myself, I'm very looking foward for phpBB 3.0. It shall be a good version :wink:

yes i agree with jeff, i am used to this system.. Also i think its best if we wait for the new version to come out then examine.

I think wait we should wait for the new PhpBB to come out. I like PhpBB and in my opinion, Invision is kind of bad.

If its registered IPB 2, then IPB it is, but otherwise phpBB.

Wait for the new phpBB to come out...i dont want the forums to change too much, I like them the way they are.

It would be a full paid version with the bells and whistles. If we go to IPB.

yep most runescape forums you see use invision and i don't like it, i prefer phb, but i agree with czskrazzi it would be good to see what the new phb is like then make a decision over whether or not to switch.

I like phpBB a lot, I say we wait until phpBB Olympus comes out

Well you see what phpBB is like, it's the forum software that we currently use. phpBB Standard board demo: http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/

Here's a demo of Invision: http://demo.invisionboard.com/v2/
