This is a tough question to answer because we don't really know how much bandwidth that GFY burns though or the requirements of the vBulletin software when used on a server that has as many visitors as I suspect this site does.

Without that information, if I was asked to setup something similar to GFY, I'd probably suggest a load balanced, blade server configuration with a dedicated database server configuration.

The key would really be quality bandwidth though. Without a good link to the rest of the net, the site is going to seem overloaded because the pipe is full.

Just some random thoughts though - without a proper feasibility and requirements it's all a guess.
