Out of curiosity why do we not use a PHP or Vbulletin based forum? I'm sure both would use less resourses.

Probably because the forum is much more 'technical' than any 'normal' forum.
It's connected to several other forums + hooked up to loads of various info on each individual user/customer.

Might be possible with PHP/Vb, but I guess it's not adequate for what SD/WB were looking for.

Makes sense I guess. However I notice that compared to other forums this site is very slow and the glitches are numerous.

I am pretty sure that even if you are using PHP/VB you could still have connection to the central database at SB/WB, and isn't PHP and VB the most advance fourms handlers out there? so how could it not meed SB/WB criteria
