VBulletin VS phpbb

[complete]

This might be a taboo subject since this website's forum is powered by VBulletin.

Which is better VBulletin or PHPBB?

I noticed the VBulletin is very expensive and PHPBB is free.

WHat other pluses and minuses are there?

Personally I much prefer PHPBB, I can't stand the admin for vBulletin, it's just totally crap. Horrible.

those both need MySQL and i fon't like either one i made my own flat file one that is free and is awesome if you want it e-mail me at dustin@thedudeslair.com but if i had to choose between those two i'd probally go with PHPBB
