I know there are many others out there that are looking for "myspace" type features to integrate or combine with our forums, and to date I have been disappointed (to say the least) at the efforts and end-results of the attempts made by some here that either fizzled or transformed into something a lot of forum owners are not interested in - a centralized system.

That being said I set out to see what I could find outside the vB community that could possibly interface with vB's user database. There are two that I have so far sourced that look to have a lot of promise. I'm talking to phpfox now about vB interaction and will continue to look at others. phpfox is working to integrate with vB. (Already have with phpbb) I believe Handshakes already does but I am not clear on that.

Here are the two that I have found and seem to be highly rated by people online.

phpFox www.phpfox.com

Handshakes www.dzoic.com

Yes, they are paid scripts, but they have excellent features.

If anyone else has used them in the past, or knows of other options that can be combined with vBulletin, please post them here. Once vB 3.6 gold hits I am going to upgrade and move on some type of social networking system, cms and more.

Looks like there is a healthy discussion going on at vb.com re: this.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
