I personally do not like GARS.
Because: it basically gives the look and feel of forums to the article section.
An article section has to look and feel different from the forums.. otherwise whats the point of having a different section anyways...
The positive side of GARS is that it is integraated well with vBulletin and is very configurable.
I like the Cinq's Article hack (currently he is working on release for vB3.5) becuase it gives a totally new look to the article section... but I do not like the fact that users cannot have a threaded discussion on the article like the GARS.
I think if someone could program a new ARTICLE MOD that have the design, look and feel of an forums independent article section and yet integrate well with vB and its discussion forum - that will be the best and neatest idea of a article mod.
