I beg to differ and i think Mkportal is soo much better than other portals available for vbulletin. it's also complete...imagine having a gallery, a blog, shoutbox, toplist and many other blocks and modules that already comes from the out of the box install. i also have vbadvanced installed but there's not much module that comes with it. i also find installing vbadvanced very frustrating. i remember posting a number of times there to ask for support coz my templates looked screwed. and u have to pay for the gallery or the directory to install them. i think people should check and install to see how the end product looked like. I have a test board and it's not yet complete but compare to my vbadvanced site, it is SOOOO Much better. GO check
My MkPortal-Vbulletin test board and maybe you'll realize why i prefer it over other portals.
