1. there is a rules modification here
2. user promotions (Page In Manual)
3. Set the forum as a category in the forum manager (Page In Manual)
4. In vBOptions > Forum Listing Display Options Change the Depth of Subforums to 1 or greater.
5. Have a search, there is vBXirc and another one whose name I can't remember.
6. Modification > Graphics > Smilies

to change the forum to work like a category but look like a forum will require some template editing, either to forumhome_level2_nopost or to forumdisplay depending on how you want to go about it.

i fixed the forum thing i just make it to a category and then hide it and make a new forum that is a link to this category but i need help with the chat i have it here: http://drazonia.com/forum/javachat.php and if you go there i think you will see what the problem is.
