Ok, so you are a newbee to IPB and you want to start a forum and see that so many people are using IPB so you investergate the options and find their site.
You sit there and say Hmm.. download.. and Ah HUH! you see the download page and you are confronted with THIS! (http://www.invisionboard.com/download.cgi)
No meantion here of a free unrestricted copy, they only show the PAY options.
So if I was a newbee I would get the impression that I have to pay for this sucker.
But if you go to Ikonboard (http://members.ikonboard.com/?inituser=&auth=&seed=1070394343) you need to login, and the registration is free and once you do login you get taken here! (http://members.ikonboard.com/?1070394406) and if you click on the download link at the top your are now taken here. (http://members.ikonboard.com/?c=download) No meantion of cost, no stupid amounts of money to pay and no tricks up their sleaves.
If you did not see the last 2 screens it is because you have no account on ikon, just reg and you will see them.
Simular options for PHPBB and no meantion of costs.
THAT is the very reason I say that IPB is going commercial and there is NOTHING that is going to convince me otherwise. If they were not then why are they not promoting a free download in their download section.
