vBulletin has a number of methods to stop automated spam, including image verification at registration, and when guests post or use the contect us form. It also has email verification.
Skining vBulletin is pretty straightforward as it has an easy to use template system and style manager for the CSS.
The licence options available are either $85 for a one year leased licence. At the end of the year you will either need to remove the software or renew your licence. Or there is the owned licence at $160 which entitles you to lifetime support and to run the software forever. For access to updates, it is $30 for each additional year, but this is optional.
The smilies used on this site are a custom set created especially for here. You can view the default style and smilies at www.vbulletin.com
If you wish to try out vBulletin first to aid with making your decision, you can apply for an admin demo at www.vbulletin.com/admindemo This is valid for 24 hours and gives access to the complete admin control panel and forums so you can see for yourself how easy it is to manage and even try out using the style manager and template system.
