Hey Guys,
I have been running postnuke since about 2001 and did many iterations of my site. I decided to go to VBulletin about 6 months ago because it seemed more scalable, stable and less hackable...although I don't know about the last part.

My users love the forums on the site so I wanted something forum based but I didn't want my main site to be a forum, So I customized this with a few mods and will continue to do so.

I didn't want the front page to look like a "VBStyle Site" So we changed it up a bit...
VB 3.6.x
VBA advanced
Mary's VBNews and VBArticles ->may swap these out in the future for GARS, not sure yet..
VBWikiPro
Photoplog
Member of the Month Mod (custom mod/ Available for sale for your forum if you like it)

Check it out and let me know what you think.

Things I am still working on:
1. VBNews, need to fix the templates in there that go to the main news page it currently looks horrible, anyone good with VBTemplates that can help me get that layout better?

2. Portals, need someone good with VBA templates as well need to get some good images in there and graphics...

3...more to come....

I loved the style. There were some style design issues with the categories on my Mac OS X safari v2.0.4 though.
