Are you looking for free or paid and integrated into vBulletin?
Free = wordpress
Paid = vBAdvanced Dynamics.

I am willing to pay no prob...
Ive seen vbAdvanced Dynamics, is that the only one?
I'm a bit worried because I already have many mods installed? Will these be compatible?
Also I have vbSEO will that still be compatible?

Yes it actually has its own rewrite modification built into it, I dont think its controlled bv vBSEO currently
Also, Geek Article Review System
and thats about all I've got for ya to look at ;)

GARS can be found at vBgeek.com (http://www.thevbgeek.com/)
vBadvanced Dynamics can be found at vBadvanced.com (http://www.vbadvanced.com)
I don't have Dynamics but I do have the other two vBa products and recommend them highly.

I don't own this site anymore but I did build it - here's an example of GARS in an article format.

I would stay far away from any vba products, and even farther away from any vbcover mods unless you don't need support.
I would look into GAR's as mentioned, or there are a few free article mods here at the org, just search for "article mods" and you'll find a few

I have had fairly good luck with vbadvanced products, and support, but the vbcover product was a complete waste of time and money. :( Support was very timely with vbcover, very fast, but useless to us. I think the product does work on other sites, and perhaps beautifully at that, but unless you know php etc, and don't need troubleshooting, or a manual, etc... you are going to be out of luck. There are no refunds.
A note to those who develop scripts to sell (or even free) if you sell something, and someone can not use it because they don't have the technical knowledge to configure it, offer to do it for them for a fee. We would have happily paid to have it set up completely (so that it actually worked). We did pay for installation.
Thanks for the info on the Geek Article Review System.

I've ended up purchasing dynamics from vbadvanced. They installed in less than 24 hours and are providing good support (at least up until now) so I have only positive experience :)
The articles are already growing by the minute so I'm happy with that.
Thanks for everyone's suggestions.

Yes, I have all three vbadvanced products installed. VBA CMPS for several years now and dynamics (multi-instance) license for about a year. They are all very good products. I am looking forward to seeing them adapt with the upcoming upgrade to vbulletin 4.0. It's gonna be a challenge!

Go with Word Press. I have over 500 articles published on my forum:

There are some nice mods you can add so you don't have to have two separate log ins.
