Nah; phpBB is pretty crap really

Have you not seen the Admin on vBulletin against the Admin on phpBB?!

what do you mean

phpbb is weak compared to vb but its free.

On a User basis, the difference between vBulletin and phpBB is very vague without a reasonably knowledgable vBulletin Admin. For control however, in the Admin - phpBB is seriously lacking in comparison with vBulletin.
