In my research so far I've found that people either love vBulletin, or hate it. Some of the things i've been sent by current vBulletin owners are not exactly flattering, and even make me feel better about my current IPB installation.

What is the licensing kerfuffle surrounding vBulletin? Did a bunch of old licenses become invalidated or something?

I'll look into the Lithium suggestion. Any others are appreciated.

Right now, I'm considering rolling my own solution. Like rogerd, I don't use half of the features my current forum software offers, and worse -- my current forum software lacks many features that my users have been asking for for years.

I'm no programmer, but if I can manage to cobble together a system that does the basics and does them well I'd be better served than something that's gotten far too bloated over the last decade.

Still, I'm open to more suggestions.
