The effort has to come from multiple developers working on a single project for this.. no other way.. every time vBulletin is updated its going to break the code again and again unless it is coded properly. It is one thing to say you will make it work for the latest version of vBulletin, but it barely worked when it was released. This mod needs serious, permanent support from coders that have already done it to create their own forum networks. It would be a major benefit to the entire community, and would encourage partnerships between sites like never before.

It is truly a disaster to see this mod sitting here in limbo, for ages, without improvement.

For this project to ever work, one thing is certain:

• No modifications should be required to the core vBulletin files.
• Modifications should be in their own files.
• Plugins should be encompassed in a product that can survive simple version updates from vBulletin.
• The project will need to be taken seriously like VBSEO or vBadvanced in terms of longevity and useability or it will just die again.

These are my thoughts - since this has gone nowhere, to my knowledge. It is unfortunate. vBulletin should have made this a core feature that was supported, but even for them it complicates things. If developers remain unwilling to do anything with the code publicly, it will never, ever go anywhere.
