I have been trying to get a demo of vBulletin going, and it’s just been a huge pain. I think it’s a very good option, but it requires a lot more configuration than this one does, and I’m just not smart and/or patient enough to get it going. If we REALLY want to try it, I can keep messing with it.
Also yes, anything we move to will have an SSL (https://) certificate. That’s non-negotiable these days.
