Yeah, I purchased a VBulletin license myself but I haven't set it up on my site yet...

I know (with time) you can do mostly whatever you with with the template files but like I had said, I know this looks as if it's giving you what you want right now.

I picked VBulletin cause I like when you log on to the board you can see what theads you have posts in by distinctive icons next to the thread topics - not too many of the free msgboard have that as a standard feature.

I also haven't see to much spam in VB sites - the registration features are pretty powerful when used properly.
