IPB 3 or IPB 2

[yungbol]

Well, we all had a few days to play with it. I would like to see everyone's opinions on what they like and dislike.

[Justrec]

IPB2

[T3A guy]

I like some of the new features in ipb3 like subscribing. I also like the layout.

[Dark Slipstream]

I like IPB3 much better. IPB2 was just bleh, although I already miss the skins :/..

[Pargy]

I like the look and features of 3 but im used to 2

You could subscribe in IPB2...

 

I like alot of the features, but a few things dealing with the layout bother me. If there were IPB3 features on IPB2's layout and less ajax/java (I know alot of it is cool as shit, but at the same time alot of it gets annoying etc), I would like IPB3 alot more. Though for my vote IPB2.

Yeah same thing here.

[xXxStevenxXx]

Ipb3 is kick ass

[lostmodz26]

IP3 by far. I actually kinda liked IPB 2 because of the skins but that was it. What would complete ibotmodz would be atleast 2 more skins.

[SmokiestGrunl]

I prefer IPB3, I just need to get used to it.

 

I also think that it blows the over rated and over prized vb out of the water.

[fattwam]

as soon as all the bugs get worked out and skins are made and more mods IPB3 is goona be PRO!!

Pros and Cons of IPB3:

 

Pros:

• Nice, sleek looking.
• Tons of new features
• A lot more organized

Cons:

• Many, MANY bugs
• Not getting used to the layout
• The 'Loading' that appears every 10 seconds

Overall:

IPB2: 8/10

IPB3:6/10

I love ipb3, and i dont mind the skin it looks very good, its worth upgrading to. Edited June 16, 2009 by Korupt Data

I like IPB3, but since we had IPB2 for a long time and the skins were nice I like it better, but I think I'm just still getting used to IPB3

[Metalocalypse]

It does not really matter to me, as long is the site is still up and running I'm fine. But, if I had to choose, I would pick IBM2 because I liked the themes. Now, just blue. Edited June 16, 2009 by Metalocalypse

IPB 3 has the features of a social networking site which is good for a site like this. IPB 2 is for sites that like to just have a forum. IPB 3 has turned into a new forum version of MySpace and Facebook. I love that. So IPB 3 all the way.

[crazyeightz]

I am liking IPB3, there really is nothing i can say that has not been previously stated but i figured i would put my opinion out there anyways.

looks great

[yungbol]

The thing right now that you need to think of, is that there is much more development coming. IPB 2 when it was first released was probably horrible. The more time we give this the better it will be

I see nothing of value in ipb3, other than eye candy.

IPB3

I waited a very long time for it,

and honestly don't regret it

it just feels easier, you know?

Usually I'm one against ragging on others opinions and views, but khaos honestly do you even see what you just posted. How would you compare IPB3 (forum software) to that of MySpace and Facebook? These features of a social site your talking about are what? There really is nothing big on the features of IPB3 s compared to IPB2. They have just took the same stuff and added Java and AJAX. Signing in with OpenID/Facebook is more of a ease of access then a social feature.

Exactly.

 

---------------

 

If I would compare the way I saw IPB2 as to IPB3 it would be like this:

 

IPB2 is Windows XP

IPB3RC2 is Windows Vista

IPB3 Final MAY be like Windows 7

 

In the end, I find no real reason to upgrade other than to get alot of eye candy and maybe a few cool features here and there.

[ImaGonnaGetYou]

Well, Firefox doesn't work on my computer, so pages take forever to load even on a fast connection.

 

Also, A lot of the layout features are placed terribly.

 

I like many of the new features, such as reputation and the recent topic list, but IPB3 has so many bugs and problems with Internet Explorer that I would rather stick to IPB2 until the bugs are worked out.

 

EDIT: And, as diet said, I don't know what khaos was smoking when he posted that, but this site has no similarity to a social networking site besides the fact that we talk to other people, which we could do in any forum.

You do know half of the IPB 3 Support Team would agree with me right?
