I am amazed at all the negative comments. "It looks like crap" sorry but I do not remember vbadvanced coming with it's own skin system.
vBAdvanced doesn't need it's own skin system - It was designed to fully integrate with vB using the same styles to save people the hassle of having to redesign a skin manually and to also provide a uniform look between the CMS and Forum.
This is just to nuke-ish for me. All these portals look the same to me aswell......
Its werid, now a days a lot of the sites you visit have basicly the same layout because they use some sort of CMS or portal system. No one strives to set new standards anymore...

also i did install this a few months back,it stayed for a day while i messed with it then i deleted the lot,simply because of the way the whole layout is.

mmm...what do you mean by complete make-over american style? ... is this some kind of racial superiority complex?
my two cents.

I too had those same thoughts when I read that post. I too am not American.
To add on to some of the comments already posted, I guess it really depends on what level you are at and what features you really need.
For me, I don't need most of the features in any portal, and most portals don't have the features I need.
So I coded my own. I think that's the best way, in that YOU suit YOUR requirements. Of course I can understand not even can do this, and in that case, these portals *may come in handy, but I would still recommend everyone to try to customize their site.
Like Brad mentioned, too many sites looking the same these days.
