Well, for one thing, currently vBulletin is much nicer! It has more features, and is easier to manage than phpBB.
But, I'm sure Dani will tell you more ;-).

Well, as I'm sure you know already, phpBB is free and vBulletin has a pricetag of $160. vB has much cleaner code. It also has virtually no bugs, and when one does arise, it is fixed within the day. It comes with many more options configurable via the admin panel. In addition, their templating system is amazing - especially template conditionals. All I could really suggest is going to vBulletin.com and testing out the demo admin interface to see just how configurable it is.
If you are developing a serious community, I highly recommend VB. If you are developing a community and can't afford the price tag, phpbb is ok.

Don't be so sure gooseneck. DaniWeb emerged as a result of a phpBB project I was working on called techtalkforums.com
well i am goin to throw invision into this mess as from what i have seen invision has pretty much alot of the features of vb but i do think vb probably has more features, but invision is about 2 weeks or so away from releasing 2.0 so you could always check them out. they are free unless you want support from them but there is no need as there is tons of web sites out there about invision board that can help you out. i would say you should check into invision and see what you think.

everything is good, just see what contents are in ur site.
I know a lot of VB forums being dull w/o members and forums with free boards running smoothly with lot of members ??
the reason is simple, what u expect to give from u r site makes members to attract people.
Some of dull boards ( VB)
