Images? I can get those in about a day or two, since at my own forum, I have like 10 moods suggested daily by members and had to actually stop accepting smilies because I couldn't cope with the amount.

Hint: Ask at most gaming forums or the like, or maybe a site like the Spriter's Resource, and you can often use them with credit to the author.

Aside from that "RPG hacks" aren't really that popular anyway. There are a handful of "big" forums that put them to good use..everyone else has trouble getting enough users to play. I personally have no interest in playing a "web based rpg" and from what I can see most of the other users that visit forums with them installed feel the same way.

I'm still debating it. But I know there'd be some interest, and plenty of people wanted a battle system type thing when the topic came up.

Why do you care what software other people are using? I made the same mistake back when I used UBB but in time I saw the error of my ways and converted to vBulletin. There will come a time when I move on to something else although it probably won't be IPB. At any rate if someone needs something not included in vBulletin they should probably be looking elsewhere. There is no point in buying a car and trying to modify it to be a truck when you can just buy a truck in the first place.

Probably because apart from that, vBulletin offers the best features.
