IPB and vBulletin: Who copied from whom?

[Market Mutant]

Somebody said IPB 1.2 copied code from vB 2.0....

Now IPB is in 2.0 and vB is in 3.0

How could a script be offered in a free version IPB and paid version vB,
while features and underlying codes are similar.

What is the MySQL problem IPB has to crash database but vB does not? Why can
IPB fix it?

IPB and VB run on a different style of coding. IPB is more OOP based, and VB
more function or PP based.

Could you tell me why IPB has the database crash problem with MySQL?

IPB does not crash anything. It makes extensive use of column
indexing which causes problems on some versions of MySQL 4 which
use incompatible PHP drivers.

Most of the features used in BOTH forum systems were originally
thought up and created by Perl hackers for the old UBB forums
written by Infopop. They end up in both vB and IPB because people
ASK for them.

And as this isn't the IPB forums I can be a little less polite in
saying: Get your fucking facts straight in future bawbag!
