I doubt invision community will survive for more than 5 years from now. It's become a heartless, greedy, money hungry company. Their new cloud-based subscription based schemes cost thousands of dollars per year (a ridiculous price for what the software does when so many free alternatives exist) and they want to get rid of their self-hosted customers by raising the license fees to 500$ (more than double the usual price) and force them to update it every 2 years or lose their license. They're also cutting down many features of the self-hosted license to force them to choose subscription. Many coders who created plugins are now jumping ship. Just look at their pathetic youtube channel to see how much they're "loved" (irony intended). The self-hosted customers were their main supporters, now they're throwing them out, but they'll get back what they deserve one day...

What is Invision Community?

Invision Community (previously known as IPB, IPS, Invision Power Suite, IP.Board or IP Board) is an Internet forum software produced by Invision Power Services, Inc. It is written in PHP and primarily uses MySQL as a database management system, although support for other database engines is available.

While Invision Community is a commercially sold product, there is a large modding community and some of these modifications are free. In addition, many groups offer the download or design of free and paid skins.
