Thanks for the feedback @zalost and @guardian!

There are definitely no plans to really overhaul the place or to convert software at this point; we will be sticking with MyBB. We've been using this softare since almost the beginning, and it has served us great. The only thing I don't really like about MyBB is its default styling and theming, but we've done quite a bit of work overhauling the bulk of that over here. There are a lot of details where paid software has an edge (responsive designs, advanced profiles, CMS related features and site-integration, etc.) but for the essentials, MyBB is very clean and easy to use, and you can write plugins to fill in the gaps.

Honestly, it is almost my opinion that IPB and MyBB are really the only two truly viable solutions left for real communities. Xenforo isn't trash, but even with Xenforo, I find it a little excessive at times, and it can be a little annoying for the user. You can customize IPB or MyBB about as much as you like and make them look and feel exactly as you desire. With Xenforo, it's always gonna look like Xenforo, and that is a major pet peeve of mine...

Vbullshit, SMF, and pretty much everything else on the market is nothing more than pure trash. If we ever expanded to being much more all-encompassing than just a simple forum (major CMS features, multiple site sections, articles and content databases, etc.), that's where IPB might have a little more of an edge, but at this point we just aren't looking at anything of that sort necessarily being practical. All things considered, I think MyBB has served us pretty well.
