I have a couple of questions (that range in their subject) in regards to vB.

1) Is it possible to create a clone or test vBulletin instance for a) privacy (we want to surprise people when we are done) and b) to collaborate in making our site.

2) Using something like Xara: MenuMaker, I can create Navbars (which it says in the program IIRL) and use them on vB. Xara, for anyone who doesn't know..seems to be a good program for doing vB themes. I am also considering picking up a few more programs if they integrate well with vB.

3) I'm interested in using Beta 2 - 3.7 so I can help report errors and also test some features. If I do use it, will I have no add-ons (vBa, Mods, Hacks, etc.)? Also, what's the latest?

4) I want our site to have everything we need and a little bit more (for fun). However I am worried that if I put a ton of add-ons, the site will run slow and/or take up a lot of room and bandwidth. Are these concerns well-merritted?

5) Finally, does anyone know of maybe a large list of great looking vB sites? I would like to look at what others have done to try to spark my ideas, as well as see things I may not be otherwise able to do.

Thank you guys so much for the response!

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