I like vbulletin, but, I just don't think it can handle the stress it will put under if ESPN uses it.
I don't think it will be all vbulletins fault however. Mysql wouldn't be able to handle it. Unless a port to Oracle or another more scalable db is the works.
I'd like to see them switch to a linear display forum. The threaded version they run makes it hard to follow the discussions. Yet that brings up another problem vbulletin might have if it ran there. Many threads have 1000 of more replies. Even with paganation this would put a strain on mysql.
