Lol basicly, however their phpbb is rather hacked and they use an awful lot of power to do what they do considering they have sponsors im suprised they didnt use a differnt forum software, and i dont mean vBulletin specificly, but im suprised they chose phpbb
Probably because it's free. The owner probably got familiar with the code, hacked it up and can't be bothered to switch because he'd have to learn a lot more stuff. If I was him I would stick with phpBB (God forbid)
Yea i imagine, but i wonder how much better vBullinet or another software would handel 7000 users online, with less servers.
I'd doubt that vBulletin could handle that kind of load without removing a lot of the core code. Side by side a phpbb/invision board against a vBulletin board - i'd have to say that I think vBulletin would be the more resource-intensive out of them

Not so true, phpbb and IPB by default have alot of semi inteisive options on and there is no "quick" way to turn them off.
By vBulletin you could turn almost everything that would be removely server intensive off including store your css somewhere else. There was an attack on vBulletin.com right around the vB3 release (beta 3) 1000 users looking at one thread, and the server load didnt bugdge one bit
