There's an IPB/Mediawiki integration project that is more-or-less seamless, and doesn't have the namespace problems current vB hacks have. It's a bridge, but still better than any of the spit-and-bailing-wire hacks available for vBulletin. Why would the namespace issue be such a problem for vBulletin integration, but not IPB?

I would definitely pay for a similar product for vBulletin. Still, who would it be technically possible for IPB, but not vBulletin?

Seriously, do we really need another RPG or "list users who have viewed the FAQ today"-style hack? Hack authors, I'm begging you - WORK ON REAL MEDIAWIKI INTEGRATION!

EDIT: waiting for the bot that responds to all of these integration threads with "Have you tried vBAdvanced?"" in three ... two ... one ..
