Hello every one,

We have made a lot researches about forums, and we found out a lot of people hate vBulletin even though they already using it, and the reason is that because there are no other competitors in the market.
So please lets Discuss why a lot of people hates vBulletin and what is the most important futures that people will need it, consider about it, and what should i care about to create success forums software.
I have every one open that post will share they ideas and opinions.

thank you,

If someone didn't want to use vBulletin there are plenty of alternatives, so to say there aren't any competitors would suggest you haven't researched very much

Out of curiosity what reasons did you find for people "hating" vB?

Is very difficult market, vBulletin works perfectly for my customers. And if people don't like it, as blue-dreamer says, there is plenty of alternatives. Even the wordpress team has forum software.

vBulletin has some issues, however I believe it is the best forum software, even with it's problems and being bloated and all the other things critics tell. Usually critics only include hard core programmers that knows their way for good coding, free riders and similar. I haven't heard from people who actually run big boards, any criticism that would make them change the software.

PHPbb3 & SimpleMachines (SMF) are just TWO! VERY VERY VERY popular forum software providers..

vbulletin is the best out there, and of course there a lot of forums software good too.
we have new way to create new forum software would be better than a lot of forums software. and with people ideas we can make the best always.
so lets try to find what is missing in all forums software out there.

Get some better English skills first.

I don't mean to sound brute, but if you think about it it makes sense. People aren't going to use a forum software that has broken English all around it.

First releases in the software will be in Arabic lang, of course we have developers to support the software in English and more languages.
do you think i will release the software with broken English!
please use your brain.
also i don' think that my English that bad

so lets talk if you have any ideas about the forums instead of talking about English skills.

Actually it has a lot to do with it. Using poor grammar and broken English on what is a primarily English/American speaking/writing community shows that you may have failed to research the language fully or correctly. This then casts doubt or uncertainty over whether you have understood correctly your research, if it indeed included other English speaking communities.

What would you think if I posted a similar question in your native language that contained glaring errors in grammar and spelling?
Now for general conversation/communication a few mistakes in a foreign language is understandable and does not necessarily detract from the message, but in technical situations it is important that there is no mis-understanding or mis-communication otherwise it can throw a shadow of doubt over your competency.


NOW

vbulletin is the best out there,

Not necessarily, however it IS THE MOST popular of the paid, licenced forum scripts with does suggest that it is not exactly "hated" by users/operators if they are willing to part with money for it.

vBulletin has a crap templating system, poor overall code architecture, and is extremely bloated... but it's the most feature-rich forum on the market right now.

Want to beat it? Build something OS and extensible, like the Drupal or Joomla of forums... and try to get your name atop the other 100 free competitors out there...
