Let me say that working in community based websites is sometimes also a very rewarding experience. Much more than working on business websites.

The reason is simple - you get to know people that are incredibly dedicated to a subject, and you get to know about things, sometimes about whole worlds you would have never imagined existed. One of our best long time clients is a huge vB community about sports cards. It was a world I completely ignored, but there you see a gigantic team of moderators and administrator handling thousands of posts per day, moderating trades between users, and thousands of users discussing about things you are forced to know a bit more in order to do a good work. And the same happened with Gt40 cars, forex cards, and occasionally even in "realms" one should not mention in websites accessed by young ones.

Yeah, there is something to learn also in those places.

Sometimes being hired by a guy really dedicated to his community is like entering a new world. And trust me, MySpace is popular, Facebook is popular, YouTube is popular, but if you put together all the communities created through vBulletin you have such an endless and REALLY diverse universe that none of the big networks can compare to.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
