Why convert to IP.Board?
We've told you what IP.Board is and what it is capable of, but if you're already using another bulletin board product, why should you consider converting? There is no need to lose your member information, topics, posts, and forum structure. Here, we've compiled 5 reasons why IP.Board stands head and shoulders above other products.

Telephone support included
Unlike most of our competitors, we include toll-free phone support with ALL license purchases! Now assistance or advice is just a free telephone call away. There's no premium for ease-of-contact with IPS! -
Upgrade and installation service included
With IP.Board, you don't need to pay extra to have your board installed or upgraded! All licenses come with free installation and upgrades by our trained technicians. When you've paid for your license, that's all you pay! -
Unique IP.Board features
IP.Board contains a wealth of unique features that help make your job more efficient and your users stick around. Features like multi-quote, topic multi-moderation and the brand-new, community-orientated personal profile aren't to be found anywhere else! In addition to the front-end features, IP.Board has been developed in a modular style with built-in event handlers so that interfacing with 3rd-party software is easy. -
Backed by an established company
IP.Board is a fully commerical product backed by an established international company and a dedicated full-time team. While some open-source offerings may look attractive, they don't provide the peace-of-mind and commercial focus that are essential cornerstones of software where business is concerned. You need reliable, timely support from people that know how important speed, quality of information and trust are to your business, and IPS delivers. -
Extend your software with add-ons
In addition to IP.Board, you can also install professional add-ons to extend the functionality of your board. We currently offer IP.Gallery, an image album add-on that allows your users to share and post photos and IP.Blog, a community-based blog system that allows your users to create and manage their very own blog, right from within IP.Board! These add-ons are available from IPS, but our active customer modification community is always working on new ideas of their own to help you get the most from IP.Board.
