Forum Development

[cvinoth]

Hi all,

Iam the webmaster of www.discussweb.com , a Web design forum.

I started this forum before 6-7 months and now it has developed in a good way to some extent. I already get around 10,000 visits per month from search engine referrals.

And i also get many ads every month worth atleast $100-200.

Now that since my forum is developing. I would like to convert it to a portal type like sitepoint and give more to the users like tutorials, articles, contests, books, run sponsor ad's etc...

Can it be done ?

Iam asking this because i know only a few things in vbulletin. I know to use the admin very good but iam very weak in editing the templates/codes and stuff.So currently iam distributing sponsored ad's in the footer of my website which doesnt look very good.

Any ideas or suggestions ?

So is there any one who can help me achieve what i need ? Iam ready to pay for sure.

Kindly assist.

Thanks

Vinoth
