CMS!

SP: Can you share with us some of the new features of vBulletin 3.0 that haven't yet been made public?

Johny boy:
...

You never know, but before long you might find vBulletin powering your whole Website, not just your forums! ;-)

can i be cool like you john?

[George L]

cream pie for you

To power forums that large does require quite a large server setup, though. I'd think that they probably have two servers, one for the database, and one for the Web server. Each would probably be a Dual-P3 1Ghz machine with 2GB RAM, SCSI hard disks. That's just a guess, but with the falling cost of servers, a server that size wouldn't be unreasonable for a large site.

how the hell do you afford that?

[tubedogg]

You have a large site that brings in income...

isnt this the same article posted last month? sorry if i'm wrong

[MarkB]

It's slightly different, I think.

Seemed a little biased in its intro... but then again, maybe they just really like vBulletin (and who can blame em?).

[Wayne Luke]

It is the only Interview that we have posted with John. What other article are you talking about? The one with Derek Powazek? That one was totally different and these are just the start of our interview series.

this one was posted about a month or so ago

I guess some of the questions are similar but those are standard questions being asked and will most likely appear in some format with all interviews. However SitePoint has no affiliation Devarticles.com.
