That may possibly work, but these questions/issues arise:


The post and user count will be for the entire forum, not per school correct?

The forum would be at same path? eg. school1.site.com and school2.site.com wont be useful since it'll point to the same forum?


Preferrably, i'd like it to be different tables in db per school and just have a central set of files if possible.

If you want it that way, you'll have to spend a serious amount of cash on vBulletin licenses...
