Yeah - wordpress is an excellent open source app - so others say - I never liked it though.
It is quite popular and there is a wordpress/vBulletin bridge around vB.org somewhere. I've seen other sites with wordpress implemented and it looks damn good, just has never been my thing.

Wordpress isn't a CMS, it's a blog.

Expression Engine, Modx, Drupal, etc.

It can be used as a CMS though depending on your module placements I suppose... Kinda the same difference - but not really... But yeah... Kinda...

For stand alone cms, drupal every time. For integration with vb, vbadvanced or wait and see what the cvbulletin official cms is like

wordpress can indeed be used as a CMS, it's what I use on both my forums and it's fantastic

http://vbadvanced.com/ doesn't even load right now, they must be having server issues..

Unable to connect

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at vbadvanced.com.

I guess I should elaborate..

Wordpress CAN be used as a CMS, but it requires a bunch of tweaking.. I've said it before, but I have to think in the sense of providing this to a client. If a client wanted a site, and I were to do it in WP, I'd have to remove anything related to the "blog" (unless of course they wanted a blog).. It's not very practical, and it's not all that easy to do. Also, like most CMS solutions, WP has a bunch of limitations that you just have to 'settle' for. This is why I've turned to custom applications more often that not.. it's just not all that practical.

A more practical cms solution would, in my opinion, be the three options I listed earlier. Wordpress is a blog and won't be used for anything less or more when it comes to my projects.

If you really wanted a well integrated portal, than vbadvanced is the answer
Wordpress can be full integrated with one 15 minute hack

WP is always my suggestion just on the SEO aspect of it alone. It's the best/only option IMO if you are serious about search engine traffic.

Loads just fine right now...

Apologies, I am not looking at a VB integration.

I am currently looking at one of our other domains, and a full blown events management system. Thinking a CMS would work, its not appearing that we can find anything as user friendly as VB ( imo )

My issue is finding something to use on another domain ( shared server ) with our forum, that can share our user database, ad thus be extensible.

Maian events is great but very limited.
Saxon by Quirm works fine but again cannot afaik, be integrated.

So really its a cross domain system we are looking for.
I am toying with the idea of grabbing another vb license, and see if we can share databases across domains, but havent seen concrete proof that this works seemlessly without upsetting one or tother.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
