You are walking the same path i did before.
Mybb is great and 'have it all' in one piece, nicely managed user accounts,
PM's, user groups and everything, without need for multiple conflicting plugins for CMS.
Maybe one day, someone will make plugin for mybb that will enable CMS like presentation method i introduced earlier
because technically mybb core and template system is that flexible its very possible to do (even in current 1.6)
It just requires a little different perspective, where instead of calling it 'forum'
one would separate content from presentation and try imagine how presentation could be done in CMS way.
And then it would be possible to become not only mybb forum, but also mybb CMS, and mybb everything else.
(Template would be very simple and have slots where administrator can inserted content modules,
and modules would be content where administrator can define how its displayed (show as article / post / comment)
The same way plugins would be modules and its output could be inserted into template slots .
How easy - no template edits / html insertions, and how flexible when can simply drag and drop modules to slots.
Who knows...
maybe even mybb 3.0 will be like this in future and will devour not only other forums but CMS's as well
