Hi Tomasz,
As for resources usage, I don't know what is your host, but if ever
you are thinking of moving, I recommend futurequest:
http://www.futurequest.com which is probably one of the best host on
the planet (and I weight my words), very proffessional and honnest,
answers promptly to support questons, lots of power, and wich handle
with no problem 200 000 posts vbulletin. (They even use one for their
own support forum which you can see on their site).
Sure, if you need be able to work offline, then there is now way
vbulletin can help you.
I'm convinced the software would be a plus and differenciate even
more than metastock and such, but there are things it can't do.
Now, I think everybody knows what I think, but after all, our goal is
Amibroker so message board system is a bit secondary.
Its up to you guys !!
Manioc
