Thanks for the input. I agree with you for the most part. I've been leaning towards vBulletin for some time now, I like their feature set and the fact that they contiunally improve/develop/secure their product. They also have a new plugins system where it's really easy (so I've heard) to make plugins/templates without touching the php files, making upgrading a breeze. I'd like to try out their plugin framework and make a plugin for spell-checking posts, or adding Spanish diacriticals etc.

Vanilla looks really promising, but I don't think it's matured yet enough. IMO, it would be a much better product right now if they integrated the 30 most popular extentions they have and made them part of the core software. I posted on that over at the Vanilla forums. Anyway, I will probably go with vBulletin despite the cost, but I might have to hold off for a bit longer. Anyway, thanks for the input. Anyone else have an opinion?
