guess this is a no go for now.. but sure would be handy!!

When other "free" CMS's perform only 11 queries with a load time lower then 0.05seconds, let me know...
Most CMS's out there perform an average of 40-100 queries, that's a crime for your server on a busy site.
I would not install them on my site, even if you pay me.

Teck,

So, I assume that you run VirtuaNews? How long have you been running it and do you recommend it?

TECK doesn't run virtuanews

I believe it's based on vbhome_lite though

ok.. let me say it this way since you seem to have taken offense to my prior post..

vBulletin, for an owned license, is $160..

server prices vary depending on your host and what you need from the host.. i use a dedicated server and it is $139 a month..

so money is tight.. especially since my site is a FREE site for community members.. so i use what is available, and mess around with variables until things seem to perform to the best of their, and my, abilities.. so no, i am not spending another $100 on something that i can get for free.. while your argument is valid, and true, it, for my particular intentions, is not worth the extra $100 i would have to shell out for it..

so i will gladly use vBportal with a vBulletin back end.. and i have contributed to the vBportal team in the way of money, and will continue to do so on an annual basis.. those guys work very hard on what they have, and it does ALMOST everything i need..

so yes, you may be right as far as your statement goes, but you also have to see the story from both sides when money is concerned and a lot of people use what is available and contribute back to that rather than having to shell out money for something upfront that may put more of a hinderance on their pocket book than a helping hand on their server..

Hmmm, correct me if I'm wrong but didn't VirtuaNews exist before vbhome_lite came to light?

I'd hate for a business to be misrepresented here on vb.org
