I'm using vs-interactive profiles and modified quite some things, but the result is pretty much what you see on myspace etc. For example

So I think you can do almost everything with vbulletin and an affordable (and well supported) hack. But I think the convenience Zoints gives to users is unmatched (drag and drop blocks). But Zoints has other disadvantages so I won't use that.
If someone ever release a Zoint a like hack for ones forum only, with no backlinks etc. I would definately use that. But till then I'll settle with what I have now
