Which do you like better: PhpBB2 or Incision Power Board?

PHPbb2:

Pros-
lots of mods
a lot of skins
popularity
functionality
ease of use
free

Cons-
security

IPB:
Pros-
a lot of skins
security

Cons-
not free
hard to navigate

I like phpBB2 myself

invision board is free if you use the trial version. i'm not really sure why but i like Invision Board better, because you can get stuff such as IBShop/IBStore for it.

well, what i think is any forum is good if it does what you want it to do and has the features you need

PhpBB is a better forum for customising, it have a nice design, and you can easyly find some themes.

Invision Board is better for a bisness forum, it is better protected from hackers and errors.

yes, phpBB can be easily customized than IPB
and ipb is a more steady system, but ipb is not a real free forum
