Fixing vBulletin and bringing the hacker community back together.

[Dean C]

Let me just pick up on two points:

# External User Database: Store local user preferences and signature, etc, but to have done core authentication against an admin defined custom database schema or LDAP.

This as many people here have been saying is a good idea. I'd like to see an option to store all user related data in an external database with the option to link to it. That'd make it a lot easier to have cross-site user databases. I have a feeling that this'll be added in vB3.1 as you wouldn't believe the time we've been asked this here.

# Scripting Language Choice: Allow both Java and C# to be used as the front-end instead of PHP.

Well vBulletin is a soley PHP program. Alongside with keeping up with features, bugs and other support-related issues - I can never see this happening
