Some might be thinking that one person or a small group of persons could never hope to run a fork of Drupal because of its size or whatever. vbDrupal proves that the only thing you really need is to "just do it".

vbDrupal is a fork of the CMS Drupal. It integrates Drupal into the forum software vBulletin.

Drupal and vBulletin are tightly connected with eachother, user accounts and sessions are shared between the two systems. vbDrupal tries to offer the best of both worlds.

vbDrupal is completely free, however it does require that you have a valid vBulletin license. The project is hosted on SourceForge.net, from there you can download the product and/or it's sources. vbDrupal.org is the community site where we try to offer support, it is also a showcase of the product.

This fork of Drupal seems to be gaining momentum as the need for a robust forum like vBulliten is needed as the hub for creating a community. Though FireOrb will not be headed in a similar direction it is nice to know that others feel the necessity to implement new ideas.


Happy Publishing!
