I agree. I've looked at the code, even
attempted a hack (Jack from 201 informed me I messed it up, as far as using the phpBB coding standards). I think phpBB and vBulletin are very close competitors, if you can say they are competitors. I think they both influence each other, making better & better discussion boards.
As for hacks & community -- I think they both have quite a few hacks released for each (vbulletin.org forums release the vB hacks). I don't know of any public place where phpBB hacks are released, I'm assuming on thier website. And, probably after looking at them, I would come to the conclusion that they have very similiar hacks made, each influencing the other.
I think Jelsoft will raise the bar another notch with vB3 and phpBB will have quite alot of work to do to catch up to them. .. that is if vB3 ever comes out
[they predicted Q2/2002]
I dont know if I made any sense here. I'm rambling.
