IPB vs. phpBB

Which do you prefer? Why?

And does anyone know where I can get a CGI PHPbb? Lol, I love phpBB, but I can't host a webserver here.

Why do you hate IPB? don't just say that you do, explain why.

I like IPB more than Phpbb, it has more stuff, are much more powerful and are easier to moderate.

my personal favorite is IPB.. just an opinion tho

you probably already know which one I prefer:
phpBB
otherwise this wouldn't be a phpBB board

why?
hmm
one point is the large mods database: http://phpbb.com/mods/

There are no mods for phpBB 2.0.8 (yet) but there are no mods to IPB 2.0 neither.

phpBB have 104 mods for version 2.0.6, IPB have 277 mods for version 1.3.*

I like PHPBB. I love it a LOT more than I do IPB. It has more stuff, easier to moderate, and IPB kind of reminds me of an organization that I despise. I wish i could get a cgi phpbb

you could make it CGI by rewriting the PHP files

<?php
?>

to
#!/usr/bin/php4
or whatever the path is

since phpbb saves the extension in a global variable, making it ".cgi" is not difficult

I don't know php. Soon I want to learn that stuff, but for now i'mma just stick around here, help out where and when I can.
