Thank you, Lucas. Oh yes, I am aware of the lawsuit. I have been watching the development of XenForo since their inception, I like the team behind it. Apart from that I'd like to see how the lawsuit ends first, to be honest I don't see much of a difference between XF and VB. In fact, the new theme resembles XenForo a lot - forumdisplay and threaddisplay pages especially.

The development community of vBulletin is also what is attractive about the software.

This is a weak argument, Dan. All communities/forums remove posts that break their rules.

However, you have not address the issues of data/membership migration and integration of other services like the marketplace, blog and other apps that we might bring forward.

Are there any scripts that would actually tie this concept into an actual community with ability to edit posts, quote on replies, attach items, etc - forum-style? Developing a custom application for this purpose, thus reinventing the wheel is out of the question.
