I wonder if vbulletin is still a superior product, or if the free products have caught up over the years, as forums lost popularity.

- spiralx 4y agovBulletin appears to still be in active development so I would imagine it's still ahead of the crowd, whether phpBB has caught up to where vBulletin was a decade ago is the question.
- CM30 4y agovBulletin got bought by Internet Brands in 2007. While vBulletin 4 was pretty good (after a lot of upgrades), vBulletin 5 is a buggy and somewhat disastrously unpopular piece of software, with most of its users having gone to either XenForo (by the original dev team), Invision Power Board, or the various free products like phpBB, SMF, MyBB, Discourse, etc. So if you're after the 'best' forum solution now, your best bet is definitely not vBulletin anymore.
