While I'm not currently active on any non phpBB boards (in fact, I'm really not active on any boards that aren't located at *.phpbb.com), I have been an active participant on plenty of other boards running various software. I don't hold that against the community (although I actively campaign against UBB.Threads because it is ugly++) Got to agree with Doug on this.

It's the content on a site that matters, not what software they're using. All I care about is that I can use the content, I can access the content, and I don't have to jump through hoops to do it on a typical user's point of view. Now, because of my involvement with phpBB, I do take notice of bulletin board software a slight bit more than other types of sites, but it doesn't stop me from using the site. I couldn't care less if a site was using WordPress or Drupal, and I really don't have that big of a problem with a site using IPB or vBulletin or phpBB or something.
