vb.org Archive - View Single Post - Looking for advice going forward for large forum

pjkcards · #1 07-27-2015, 12:38 PM

Hello, I run a forum that has over 1M posts. The forum is located at domain.com/forum, and the homepage (domain.com) currently uses vBAdvanced. vBA is now longer developed.

My biggest complaint about the homepage is that it isn't responsive, and since vBA isn't supported anymore, I think I need to move onto something new. I also want to expand the site more into articles, photo gallerys, news, etc.

I'm considering just using Wordpress for the homepage and the site, and then using vB just for the forum. What are your thoughts, or suggestions considering my circumstance? WP obviously has loads of options for this sort of stuff and is being heavily developed, and integrating the db's looks to be relatively easy.

Any advice, tips, or recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks for your time.
