Me? I prefer to avoid using any of vbs tables if I can help it which so far has been every time. For those options that would require an optional field, I use the profile fields for the job and it works just fine.

When I hear the purists that shout 'dont mod the file' and happily alter the tables... I have to pleasently chuckle.

Remember though, that adding to the table structure does not invalidate support - Altering existing vBulletin files does

In this respect, their attitude makes more sense
