Most of thoughs features have been in vBulletin 2 since 2.0.0. which was.,.. 2001-2002, and vB3 kills that...
Firefox: no, its not the end all solution, it has its own issues and in time it will be just as insecure as IE, when its hit Firefox 6, if it makes it that far. Oh, and AOL pays for it, incase you didn't know.
Microsoft & Windows: If you hate it so much, move to linux, or bsd, or anything else, stop complaning and move on.
Good starting places: Gentoo Novell SUSE Fedora Core Apple

Yes but 250 things from a stock board that cant do much of anything may still not bring it up to vBulletins 2 features set...

Well, really, vBulletin is good, but there are people in the world with money like that to purchase a board like it.

I have used both vbull and phpbb. I have been following the 2.2 development. I have hacked at code on both boards.
Vbull's code is bloated, redundant, intentionally confusing (my opinion there), and definitely not cross platform browser friendly. Try looking at vbull forums in opera.
There really is no argument here, it's not like democrat VS republican, it's black and white. phpBB is better, cleaner written software and 2.2 will be as good as it gets at any price.
I am here. Sig will follow all applicable laws. The views expressed are those of my own.

Ok, i really want this crack you are smoking O.o.
vBulletin 3's code is bloated? How? Every little feature can be turned off, the board can function like a stock phpbb with LESS load.
Not Cross Browser Freindly? vBulletin 3's standard install works on, IE, Mozilla, Firefox, Opera, most KHTML Browsers including Safari, and even TEXT browsers like linx or linx2, and yes, this is from personal expirence, and ontop of that they look just fine too.
Now talking about vBulletin 2's coding, sure i would be somewhat more included to agree with you as most of the coding is done java styled which is very confusing, but NOT, NOT NOT vBulletin3's/

I think phpbb has its place and I am not putting it down as a forum choice, I just don't like to see false statments be putout like the code is bloated. vBulletin 3 is far less bloated than what of vbulletin 2 is
