Hey there,

As an experiment, I tried to make drupal's forums look like Vbulletins complete with the sort header style, and the footers and so forth.

This is just a start, but I'd appretiate any feedback.

Check out the Health and Fitness Forum on Gimme20.com -- There isn't much action yet -- but that isn't the point of looking at it!

It looks very good. Is it just theme or some functionality is also added ?

Well - first of all, it leverages the flatforum module -- although I extended it slightly to add some new functions.

Secondly, I overhauled all the standard forum theming functions.

Thirdly, I stole some vbulletin.css from the vbulletin site and stripped it down to the bare essentials.

Fourth -- I jacked some images too :)

Last time I checked, vbulletin was not GPLed, which means you are violating vbulletins copyright.
