6 months ago I would have said just the forum but I'm now leaning on the idea that I could benefit from a main page with wordpress being the likely candidate.

Portals just don't do it for me and am still waiting for a better solution than what's currently available.

NO WAY!!! definitly mainpage and forum.. and if you think you want have time to manage a forum and mainpage how on earth do u expect to manage just a forum you still have lots of work. besides a mainpage has more unique qualities to it then any vbad layout does, you can be more creative and your site can be more unique. i do not recommend vbadvanced as to it is a easy way out for lazy people its cool and all, but absolutely not. i go to sites all the time. yawn boring same ol vbad i see it everywhere. 100 percent behind mainpage and forums. do what i have setup -> my page where it is linked to the forums like when u click on stuff its all on the forums page. ive been gettin more viewers then ever now that i switched to a mainpage. and got rid of vbad best thing ive ever done.

Most browsers of websites are looking for content over wow factors, if the content is good then the main page looking like another doesnt bother them.As long as there is a good community members will return..Vbadvanced is great for showing news, new threads and so on, It can also be modifyed to look any way you wish...As for being the lazy way out, there is enough work with the forums without having to update a homepage all the time too.
