Well Joomla and vbulletin are totally different. Joomla is an open source content management system, while vbulletin is an internet forum software. Joomla though is free, and vbulletin you need to buy a license for. You actually could use both, as Joomla could be used for your homepage, while vbulletin could be your community. Though, I am not sure how willing you are to pay a $160 license.

if you do use both be sure to research their compatibility together. you don't want your users to have to make two accounts just to use your website completely

Like bk2070 said, you might want to consider a combination of a website and forum. A lot of top sites now recognize that forums with more features are becoming popular. More and more sites are beginning to use forums as just one of many features, even if that is the main feature; and integrate in other features like blogs, games, polls, picture galleries, chat rooms, etc. More and more sites are popping up whose primary purpose is to provide site features for website users that can be easily placed on a website or forum.

i think that you would do good with mkportal, as it can be combined with almost any forum software out there, i know it supports atleast 4 different forums, and if you decided to go with joomla there is an add on forum script that you can get right off of there site.

I'm not sure exactly what you are looking for, but spruz.com might be the place you can find it.
There freewebbing is very generous and their paid hosting is exaclty what you paid for. |

You may want to look up Invision Power Board and Subdreamer. The two software go together perfectly. Subdreamer can go with almost any other popular forum software as well, infact I think that's what it is designed for originally.
Although this topic is not about a community combined with a content management system. For a community, you dont want to use joomla. VBulletin is forum software which allows your users to interact with each other. It's possible with Joomla but VBulletin is much more efficient. Invision Power Board is also popular community software. Some people prefer IPB, some prefer VB. If you want to earn money with it, I think choosing software shouldn't be your top priority. You have to create an active and attractive site. |
