I seriously doubt that we have more than 2,000 unique active users. That being the case, vBulletin would work rather well. Another benifit of vBulletin is their IP bans, something that I dont think these forums have. Also vBulletin, as was previously stated, allows for the creation of sub forums and regular forums. This allows the moderators on vBulletin or more efficiently control the forums. On top of that, the sub forums can be used as groups currently are.
We use IP bans. But only if absolutly nessecary.
In my opinon, the vBulletin boards and others like it seems very cluttered. Our Ninjas (moderators) moderate all of the forums. (Maybe exept for the gallery, news, and voting booth)Yes, IP bans are available here... But they don't work. Dynamic IP's and simple changing of the IP almost makes IP bans useless.
I am also fairly certain Achronos and the Webmaster can do basically anything they want with the package this website is made from. And if they can't, Ideal Science could always be paid to engineer what they want. Bungie, with its advanced staff and cap room really don't have limits from within the law. vBulletins simply cannot handle what happens on this site. Also, does vBulletins have the abundant customizable features that Ideal Science has? I very much doubt it.
