umm. i never got your pm. and ive tried ikonboard starting back in the version2 days. so i can pretty much say im old school with that forum software and was around when matt (developer for ikonboard3) left javis and created his own company and board (ibforums) because of a dispute.
ibforums is a great forums software. but in the past, ikonboard(2,3) was infamous for being a cpu hog (even with mysql db backend). ibforums (which like vb is programmed with php) suffers from the same predicament and puts more load on the processor than vbulliten.
so thats why im using vbulletin.
There are reasons why vB is better than IB and why IB is better than vB but what you're saying is definitely not one of them. Ibforums does not suffer the same predicament as Ikon and it definitely does not put more load than vBulletin. Many people have tested the performance and so have I. Ibforums always beats vBulletin in terms of performance, especially at high usage. I have numerous clients with vB and iB installs and I'll tell you right now as a server administrator, vB puts more toll on the server than iB.... I would estimate approximately 10-20% more...
