I tried making what FASherman is talking about a while ago but didn't get round to finishing it.

The thing is, by modifying the templates and applying a different style to one forum or category you can easily transform vB into another kind of software like a blog or an article system with comments etc. vBulletin is by design forum software but with a bit work it can easily become something else.

Thanks for explaing that.

Then, basically, if you take Amykhar's Userpage hack and re-work it a little, that could be made into a member blog then, right?
