We're looking to set up a large number of boards. Topics will be for 50 major US cities and then for states.
So we want to set up something like this:
New York City
General
For Sale
Buffalo
General
For Sale
New York (state)
New York City (point to New York City forums)
Buffalo (point to New York City forums)
General
For Sale
Syracuse
So we have main -> city -> topic (for major cities)
main -> state -> city (for smaller cities)
We've been looking pretty seriously at the combination of vBulletin + vbseo is very interesting for people who are not doing this for free (yes, we've heard of craigslist).
However, MyBB because it's fast, attractive plus it's open source and not subject to licensing issues.
My question is this: if we have 75 major cities with an average of 4-5 boards plus 50 states with another 4-5 boards each, is this going to be a problem for MyBB? Given that we're talking around 500 forums.
We had been looking at setting up 1 forum per state so we're not afraid of doing that - as long as we could share authorization info across the forums. In other words, there might be 1 forum at the start but California ends up getting its own. We don't want users to have to do anything differently.
Thanks!
