IPB vs. Burning Board

Do you think Woltlab's Burning Board can be seen as a serious competitor for IPB? Burning Board's latest version seems to have a pretty awesome-looking photo gallery and a cool blogs system. It also has a chat plugin that rivals IP.Chat. It lacks some features that IPB has, such as status updates in the sidebar and various hooks, but the main apps of Burning Board seem to be really sleek, modern-looking.

you compare a script with forum + calendar only all ther is external plugin vs a community suite with many applications .... so the answer is very easy IPS is the best in this last version

I've tried Burning Board and it honestly isn't bad. I'm just more comfortable with IPS since I've been with their forum software since I was a child, so its kind of hard to just move away. But, do I see Burning Board as a direct competitor to IPS? Possibly in the future. But right now, its not happening.

If Burning Board had more support behind it (and the default theme wasn't so ugly), it might be a decent alternative to IPB or xF.

The default theme looks a lot better than IPB 4's default theme, in my opinion. But I agree about the support part. They really need a better support team.

You can not make apples with pears. Woltlab has IPBoard as its model. If you want to see it this way. But many features are missing which were only submitted by the community. Unfortunately, there is always less inovation and no one really dares to big projects. I had a website with the WBB / WSC for almost 5 years.
