Some valid points, not sure what's going on at madrona park/infopop/monkee
As for vb, it's got some good features, but most of it's complete feature-clog, it's not nearly as fast as most other php/mysql solutions (threads included) and designed for developers - not your everyday internet user - I'd have to turn off 95% of its 'features' for it to be usable by most of my personal site members and the general internet population. The 'feature' overkill makes it look like a chinese phonebook to most internet users, allows many portals for hackers to step through, and drags down the server - most of us cannot afford the dual servers it would require for a decently busy site
This isn't a vb support forum tho, if you want to discuss them feel free to go there to do it.
