If you are on about the awards you can install on vB4 this is a good idea, and also will help with the user reputaion thread I posted in site sugestions

I know i prob shouldn't post in this thread as ive only been a member here for 24 hours but i noticed you mentioned vB. You guys do all the coding for the forum? I know a lot of people have techs setup there boards and maintain them, i run 2 different forums myself, i am currently using PHPBB and it's ok, i am thinking of going with a paid service like vB though...

Most of the coding is done for you in vB, as it's setup to be user friendly,

This link will give you an idea of the thing's you get in vB4.

VB needs a lot of customization to get it working "properly", and IMO it's a bit difficult to work with. I personally think they need to do a major overhaul of the admin panel so that it's more organized... but I don't think they are planning to do that.

Other than the tremendous amount of time you will spend on customization and learning how to dig through the settings to find what you want to change, VB is solid.

IPB and SMF are also good alternatives.

PHPBB is not bad though, unless you have a specific issue with it I would just stick with what you have.

Yea, my only gripe is how SEO unfriendly phpbb is, it's pretty stable, you can install tons of MODS but styling phpbb can be a pain in the butt. I figured using vB wasn't just upload the scripts and files and install it, i don't think i know of any php based forum that you just install and everything is perfect, like you said they do take some tweaking...
