each to their own

I have used and tested both smf and phpbb and still use them

but when it comes to paying for something I choose vB because of the ability to add hacks etc and the integration with other products

example http://www.vbdrupal.org a straight integration which provides a CMS which is all the power to the user

Hope that helps



ps.. back to the question .. has integration been achieved with vb yet, please?
