Love that vBulletin?

Countless hours and just as many headaches with all the flavors of forum software led me to a shift in design policy to limit my future designs being sold on the new template site to vBulletin and Simple Machines Forums. Is that an announcement? Well, sort of, but more of a declaration of what I believe to be the only true conclusion for the best forum solutions among those available. I’m biased yes, since I own or administer literally dozens of vBulletin forums for clients and friends on this giant internet.
I’ve said it for years and I’m quoted in countless forums where the arguments have come up on which forum solution is the best and I’ve always believed vBulletin is it. But more and more I’m getting people asking about design work for SMF (Simple Machines Forums) largely because of the massive popularity of Joomla CMS.
Why Joomla plays such a role is still not clear but it seems that many who use Joomla CMS either use vBulletin or SMF as their forum solution. Since I’m a huge fan of Joomla, it seems logical to create themes for both bulletin board solutions and completely drop phpBB (that tired old dog) and IPB from my design agenda.
So… After I get the OSCommerce and TBE projects squared away in the next few days I’ll publish some screen shots of a few of my favorite designs I’ve recently completed for vBulletin and will develop alternative themes for commercial licensing. Not your typical blog post but a few snippets on the subject can be seen at my friends forum WebMasterPost
Quick Update!
I got asked about the theme on WebMasterPost and to answer similar questions, that theme is a modification of a commercial design that was purchased from forumthemes.com. I modified it to include some variants in structure and features.

Hi all!
What ever happened to all the code snippets you had on your site. I’ve been looking every possible directory I can think of and I cant find any of the $1 snippet articles you use to publish.
Hello visitor, Yes the code snippets are still here. I’ve moved them to a database storage method so direct links to them is no longer possible. I’ll publish them with the new site.
Hi all!
G’night
Hi. I repeatedly announce this forum. This is the oldest period unqualified to ask a ridiculous.
How multitudinous in this forum are references progressive behind, disingenuous users?
Can I bank all the advice that there is?
Hi I am Heather. I don’t know if this is the right place to ask this , but does anyone know of any place where i can get used USMLE exam prep material? I am trying to find any of the titles from the http://usmlereview.net series or the kaplan.com series or the usmlemonkey series.Thank you in advance for any pointers. Please email me if you have any of these course materials and you are willing to sell at a student rate. I found your site after searching for subjects related to this, sorry if its the wrong place to post.
No its fine, and in all honesty I do have the course material but not in a download-able format. I sent you an email a moment ago.
Hi Guys,
Just stumbled upon this site. It looks cool and I think I will be having a good time over here.
Welcome me
