Karen, have you contacted Hunter Gordon at

He is running a VBulletin wiki/forum/gallery setup there that works really well, and being a "game" person might be willing to let you see some of the logs.
That seems unlikely... I just had a poke at the site, and it's pretty well locked down for non-registered members. If he's that reluctant to let strangers look at even the outward-facing side of things, I can't see him sharing internals with one.
To be honest, I *really* like the way VBulletin *can* be made to look, especially with an add on like VBAdvanced. Too bad it costs $160 to buy, but I suspect we, Phoenyx users, could raise that money for you if you wanted to go the VBulletin route.
I'm not willing to open up to the security issues of a PHP-based forum; especially not when it's even easier to slap a VB/phpBB emulation front end on Wirebird than it is to write an interface between Wirebird and a webforum.
