Industrial-strength forum software
Author: robds1	Date: 2008-05-17 17:23:33
Vbulletin is industrial-strength forum software. It scales very well (to thousands of users) and has an extensive array of rules (for example, not allowing a user to have an avatar until xx number of posts). If you have a large, diverse board you are most likely going to have loud disagreements among members from time to time. Vbulletin is a Godsend in that there is an "ignore" function so that users are not shown posts of people they choose to ignore! Vbulletin costs more than just about every other forum software product, but it is an excellent investment. It is the "gold standard" for serious websites.
