I guess we agree to disagree, I personally run a few car enthusiast forums, one of which is about 2-3 the size of your forum, and vbulletin is a pig of a piece of software, even the new beta version that I tried, in fact, more so. One thing that I consider myself "well versed" in is forums, as I am actually a developer for one of top 5 pieces of forum software, which ironically, I don't even use for my own sites, mainly because it caters to a different user. To me, in terms of a forum software, you have to balance utility and efficiency, and although vbulletin excels in utility, as it is feature rich, it is weighty, but carries its weight well no doubt. But when I am looking for a piece of forum software, I compare page generation times etc, among other factors, and in terms of performance it is consistantly 3-5 times slower than the other choices out there. Just my opinion guys, although I would like to beleive that I have experience to substantiate it
