So there is NO practical use for the built in forum. Even on a fresh installation, the built in forum is very unattractive and lacks most of the basic features and interface items mature BBs have.

I am running vB3 on most of my sites BUT what I will do is integrate IPB 1.3 when the mod is available and I will put a link to my vB3 forum called Old Forum and leave both forums running and I will ask the vB3 users to re-register on the main forum etc. etc.
Which means they would they would need to re-register that way any way, so that is very nice BUT if you chose this method, then your members would still need to re-register.
OK how about trying this approach, you want DEV's to do you VB or IPB, more than likely not going to happen so........... and please read:

Catz he is the team leader for module developers or Draven who you've already met and word it like this.
I've see and tested XOOPS capabilities however the newbb lacks a few things most people would love to see, How much would it take to sponsor you/xoops to work on developing additional features for newbb, not only would this help me (that's you) but would help give something back to the community, also as a side issue would you be willing to make a conversion script so all my member accounts are transferred into xoops.
or is it important to keep all the content intact too, after all you can lock all your old forum up for posting, and use it as a archive/reference base.
This may work, sponsored module development, I'm not guaranteeing anything though, but worth a try, and there is more chance of this than module intergration with VB
Sponsored Module Development for the community.
hope this be of some help
