Is it possible to use CouchDB instead of MySQL? We have a database here and we would like something as versatile as VBulletin to use for the forums, reputations, extra addons, basically a wide variety that VBulletin can offer. I already own VBulletin 4.x.

Not without rewriting the entire database related code. CouchDB is a nosql db which uses JavaScript for queries. Vbulletin uses sql for its queries so literally all queries would need to be rewritten. Why not just install a MySQL db as well?

Pretty much impossible to implement such DBMS. It has to be MySQL based or support the same type of queries. MariaDB (based on MySQL) for example is a good replacement of MySQL which works perfectly fine with vBulletin.

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