Quote from http://www.ibforums.com/
Two versions of IBForums are being developed, one perl version with flat file and SQL support and a PHP version with SQL support. It is expected that, due to PHPs easy to build nature, the PHP version will be ready for beta testing first

Why are you still using Ikonboard?

Until Matt is able to complete the new forum system, Ikonboard is still the best forum out there .

It seems like ibforums is following the ib templates a little to closely!

http://test.ibforums.com/ibf1/index.php I know. Just that I asked Matt whether it was possible to change the templates a little instead of making it look like ib. The link was about my question.

I think they must have used the same code as ikonboard 3 just modified it a bit to make it php compatable.

Didn't you post a skin for iB which looks like vB? Couldn't you use that?

I wouldn't use IB whatever language it's in ;)

Why not? I reckon IBForums look sweet.

Many forums look better than vBulletin IMO.
