Moving Wordpress to vBulletin? - GoFuckYourself.com

I've been thinking about converting a wordpress niche blog over to vBulletin. My website has grown even out of my control. I have way too much traffic, way too much interaction, way too many submissions. It may sounds great but it leaves me feeling like I'm half-assing its potential now.

I asked myself then what the future of the site would be and that brought me to the conclusion that I just don't know. It's changed into something that would be much more appropriate to be more of a full vB site putting more control into the hands of the community then myself trying to solely serve a community.

Has anyone been down this road before, is there a conversion between the two?

Another way of handling it might be BuddyPress...

The VB CMS is discontinued in the new version, as I believe are blogs. I would definitely recommend sticking with WordPress or using both.

VB, there goes your life. Are you ready to monitor it hourly/daily or will you hire awesome moderators?

Yeah I realize the Mod issue and have thought about that, I had not however considered buddypress.
