Stand alone Drupal forum with site?
I am creating a website for another host... fascinating!
The question at hand is.. the forum that Drupal provides is very stylish looking. But I don't want to use any of the other features of Drupal. Anyone know if it's possible to set up Drupal in a seperate folder and just link to its forum feature, without it trying to link up to anything Drupal-ish on the site that it shouldn't be? I am pretty sure that it can be done... just wondering if anyone here would know.

I don't see why it wouldn't be possible. You can disable access to anything you don't need. Basically, just install Drupal and set the forum as the front page.

i never have understood the need for vbulletin. It is one of the few messageboards that dictates a liscence be bought. i guess it is a guarantee that support will be there over the years but there have been many free boards that are as robust or even better.
i have never tried a drupal messageboard but if it is the expense of the vbulletin that is at issue too , theres got to be one similar to drupal as a standalone from these http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Script...rds/index.html

The ACL stuff that comes with Drupal is actually very very nice. You can pretty much customize access to anything including navigation links on a per user basis.
