Default Pre-sales questions... lots of them :)

Hello, all
Just some of the questions I need to know to make a qualified decision. Those of you who migrated from IPB are very welcome to contribute answers, since I'll be referring to that board a lot.

Basically, I understand that support is only available for those who paid for vBulletin, but too many restrictions, however, prevent me from looking at some mods/hacks, even at screenshots of such, that I believe are necessary for my community. So don't blame me if I ask for something you've known for years, I might just not

All questions are related to latest version of vBulletin 3.0.3, so if the hack/mod is not available - please, let me know.

1. Is there a well-developed (meaning - not in alpha/beta/gamma/delta stage, stable release and so on) portal system, that can allow several categories of articles. For example - I want to have tech news to be taken from forum1, science news from forum2, and want them to be visually separated, or separated through menu (so there are menu items that correspond to categories of articles).

2. Is there a well-developed store/points system, that is similar to IBStore mod for IPB? The system, that automatically adds certain amount of currency/points to user depending on his actions (new thread, reply, poll, etc.) Then it also allows purchasing of some items from the store (password to certain topic/thread, upgrade in membership, change in signature, etc).

3. I've heard that vB present more server load then IPB, is that so? It'll be using shared hosting account for site/forum/photogallery, and we don't want any problems with host .

4. I'm sure there are galleries that could be integrated into vB, which ones would you recommend based on stability and features?

5. Is there a site messenger available, that will allow users exchange instant messages, just like private chat?

6. Is there good chat available that is a part of vB or could be integrated?

7. Is there a dating/classifieds/personal ads mod available that could be integrated?

8. I've seen some mods that allow advertising on forum, which one would you recommend based on stability and features?

That's all for now. Thanks for reading this and sorry for long post. Just wanted to make sure I'm spending my money right.
