Possibly converting from Snitz to Vbulletin

[lionheart53]

I'm looking into possibly converting from Snitz to VBulletin. I know there are a lot of hacks in vbulletin and a lot that can be done (and that I can import a lot of the existing data). What I'm hoping to do is list below the major things in Snitz that I have and see if someone here can help point out if they are available in Vbulletin (built in or add-on) or if they'd need to be custom built (in which case I'll have to find out the best way to hire someone to build them for me). Some of these things I'm pretty sure are available but I just want to confirm as best as possible. Thanks.

Hopefully I'll catch all the major things so here goes .

* Email subscription to recieve posts via email (can subscribe to entire forum, specific sections, or specific threads)

* Post messages via email (I've actually got a program I could recode to do this if I can insert into the correct tables and know what items need to update with a post)

* Ability to join specific areas of the forum so they won't have sections appear unless they choose to join (and they can do so without moderator intervention)

* Page to display recent threads with activity

* Page to display ALL recent messages from all the areas they have joined or have access to

* Ability to have custom fields in their profile, at least a few with defined choices (select drop downs)

* Add-on or built in layout to allow advertising on top or right side similar to google adwords or other ads.

* Spell check

* IP Address blocking

* Moderated sections that don't show the post until approved (I'm sure this must be in there but I just want to get it all down) along with requiring joining the forum before even viewing a thread (sure this is probably there as well)

* Ability to split existing topics into additional threads

* Google Map integration (not required but saw this as an option I can add on to Snitz to show member locations)

There's probably more but I think those are probably the most critical. I know some of this is probably all nicely documented and the rest may be found in the hacks here, but I'm in a time crunch and really anxious to figure out if I want to switch.

Thanks.
