I am looking to build an online community (forums, articles, files, and main blog).
I will be using vBulletin as the forums software so it will handle a large amount of users well. What I am not sure about is how to do the rest of the site. I cannot find a CMS that successfully integrates with Vbulletin and is actively maintained.
I could just use WordPress, but I need a way to handle articles and files. These will be user generated content, and would have to be a third system if I went with WP/VB combination. I do not think WP has any modules that would handle uploading files and articles securely, and I don't think it would handle the load.
I am considering WP/VB & custom code for the article/file management. But I really would like something out of the box and supported. One of the main reasons I want to have something that is integrated with VB is so that the forum user name is the same as the one used by file/article postings.
