I am obviously bias becasue I am an Administrator of Oddworld Forums and fully support the move. It's something that has been a while coming, and only came too soon enough.
My main reason for not liking ezBoard was the ever increasing number of ads. I have a feeling that the more visitors your board gets, the more ads you get. For example, I had a look at Pacen's Place the other day and found that there were no pop-up windows or huge link ads, only a couple of small banner ads.
I love UBB because it allows us to have full control over our forums, right down to customizing things as we need (where possible of course). Along with all the advantages that Pacen has already listed!
The main disadvantage of UBB I see is that you can't preview your posts... and also the last poster in the topic listing... but both of these I am sure I can fix... which are next on the list of things to do for the forum.
