Is Your Forum your entire website?

[cheat-master30]

Strange question, but basically, is it:

1. A section of your website which is accessed from your website home page or another page on the site. So it'd have an information or other type of website at domain.com and the forum at something like 'forum.domain.com or domain.com/forums or something else. Doesn't matter what kind of website it is, be it a wiki, blog, CMS powered site (Joomla, Drupal, etc) or just a plain HTML and CSS website.

2. Most of the website, but there's a portal as well. You basically use a custom script powered by vBulletin as a home page.

3. The entire site. Anyone who goes to your site lands straight on a list of forums with the usual vBulletin forum home page layout. There's no main site, no portal or no anything except a discussion forum.

Just wondering, out of boredom.

The closest for me is #2 as I use vBadvanced for a portal page. However the forum is not the main part of my site. I would weigh it as 50% of the site overall, with eFiction covering the remaining content. The portal is just a landing page where updates from all areas are displayed.

^I would then personally say it's the first option then, just because of the presence of non vBulletin add on scripts (eFiction).

not everyone uses vBAdvanced - some create their own scripts powered by vBulletin

you should rephrase it to ... "You basically use a custom script powered by vBulletin as a home page..."

Also, some high-end users will like a complete powerful CMS system.... Maybe for writing news articles, ect.

I use the wordpress script as my home page, with the forums in a sub domain

I use a custom portal solution i coded that integrates with different parts of my site such as vb blog , articles etc..

So can someone edit the poll please? I've edited the first post, but can't find how to change the poll options here.
