Some newbie questions before buying

[Gazanfer]

Hello.

For a new site, i am thinking about buying a vbulletin license. In the past, i just used phpbb and likes whenever i needed a community solution.

But this new site will be based on the forum software, so i want it to be very solid and stable. This lead me to vbulletin. I was hearing about vbulletin for years.

Before buying a license, i have some questions:

- How flexible are vb templates? for example; can i make a tableless, pure css design? (no, it doesn't need to be the exact clone of the default template like in that "make an exact tableless clone of default template" at vbulletin.com)

- I will hire a coder to mod the site to my liking. (No, what i want done is not available anywhere on internet, i want a full vb dating mod) But what will happen to my templates then? What will happen to other mods i have already installed? I mean how modular is vb?

- Can i mod vb to heavily use ajax?

Thank you.
