My questions:

1. Which CMS works well with the above list of hacks? vBaCMPS
2. Which chat system is more stable, smoother, and works well with the selected CMS & vB? I use Flashchat, find it to be far more impressive than vBChat.
3. Which CMS has more features? Dunno. I use vBaCMPS and it is fine.
4. Which hack works best with the selected CMS, and provides advertising boxes/modules/whatevers on forum and non-forum pages (Google, Amazon, ComissionJuction, LinkShare, B&N, Doubleclick, etc.)? You can add modules to your vBaCMPS. They appear as boxes. I guess you could have a whole lot of ad boxes...
5. Is there a "hack" that allows the easy creation of static pages using the default or current template/skin? Yes. Logicians Webtemplates hack. In Major Additions.
6. What would be the estimated time to install vB, and the above list of hacks? For who? For me, maybe 2 hours on the outside. For a veteran, probably less than an hour. For a non-vB person who has never opened a php file, probably 5 or so hours of cursing and crying?
7. How well these hacks work with languages (i.e. all use language selections)? Depends on whether or not they are phrased (have words in the phrase system, rather than hardcoded).
8. How easy are these hacks to manage through Control Panel? Well, flashchat doesn't natively reside in the AdminCP, but can be hacked in...the rest, assuming the instructions are followed, pretty easy.
9. How well these hacks work with templates/skins (i.e. all use active template/skin)? They would all take on the appearance of whatever skin you were using...some fixed-width styles tho, can cause page breakouts (stuff overlapping).
10. Are there alternatives that are better (smoother management, seemless to vB and others, etc.)? *shrugs*
11. Are there any other hacks that would be of general interest, or aspecially used in most vB community sites I missed? An Arcade hack can be fun. A cash/points system as well. Ucash/Ushop is the Points hack that I use, and it is great.
12. Where would be the area(s) & sites to hire a programmer, a designer, a copyrighter whom are experts with vB? Service Requests.

(Why is color Navy shows up as green?) I think many colours come up as green...it has something to do with how they look on a certain style here.
