    I want to build digitalpoint like for my country more like a clone actully. The thing is I have been to many tech forum and I found digital point provide a good section of forum and good security for preventing bot etc.,but if anyone found another site that even better than digital point do please tell me. Does drupal suit the best with this? Does anyone know what kind of system do they used to build digitalpoint? It's actually be even better if I can get a script of digital point... Thanks
    EDIT: I could pay a small amount of money for the script (I'm still on college right now so it will come from my lunch payment T_T) However, I also would like the build the site on my own, I would be appreciate if anyone could help. Thanks again!

    As mentioned above, DP uses vbulletin (www.vbulletin.com) which is probably one of the best supported forum packages at the moment. However, there has recently been another forum package that is also very popular called Xenforo (www.xenforo.com) which might also be a good option for you. But since it's relatively new, it may not have as many plugins/addons/hacks as vbulletin. So it depends on how much customization you plan on doing.

    @ everyone: Thanks ever one I sure will try it Vbulletin looks good to me. However, I'll also take a look in xenforo like Gwiz suggested. Again Thanks! for helping me :)
    @ Roshawn:Thanks for interested in my project, but I still have to do some market risk research before I can start the site. However, partnering sound good to me too cause I'm not sure I can handle the site alone. I'm gonna contact you back later with some more information. :) PS. I'm American too but I was born in foreign country, but still planning to go back to US. soon so it good to meet you! :)

    I wish you luck for your project; I'm just a little pessimistic about the success of a clone of Digitalpoint. As it is, there are a lot of marketplaces on the net and now a new one.....well, it's a bit doubtful!

    I agree with hima, I'm not sure how possible your idea is unless your forum will be non-English language?
