UBB is only $40 more, and has a lot more features, and with the upcoming release of version 8, a much more robust software package than just a forum.

I too would much rather go with the UBB as well, you won't be able to match the support (user to user or company support), not to mention the product is far older so the code is far more mature (not to mention the featureset).
I lucked out on the 10% off, but even if that wasn't there I would have purchased UBBThreads. Granted this was the software in an older version that I was use to on another site, but looking at different options I always came back to this one.
Shame it's not still available - have to agree that UBB is the way to go - I have worked with phpBB for a number of clients that insist that they should not pay for a BB platform, and whilst it's free, it's also one of the most targeted applications by spammers, hackers and spiders.
Yeah but how do you justify it? I mean if your not in business to make money off a forum?
Is this a forum for your company?
I just started a forum and my forum has nothing to do with my business. I did the forum because it is something I enjoy (subject wise) and there was a room in the niche area for another forum. My goal is to have Affiliate banners and sell advertising to support the cost of the board; software and hosting. If I make more than that it is a bonus right now. If the growth of the board stays going like it is then in a year or two those goals might change.
