I intend to purchase the vBulletin software to run a members only forum on my membership website. I want this installed and configured for me behind my members' gateway. In addition I need some sort of custom script that will write a mirror image of the board (fully navigatable) to the "free" area of the website in a NOT AVAILABLE FOR POSTING form. In other words, I want anyone to be able to READ the forum but members only can post. I realize that this option could be enabled by actually placing the board itself outside of my password protected members area. However, I don't want to have to handle the admin of authorizing vBulletin accounts for new website members and - vice versa - having to delete vBulletin accounts when someone's membership declines. It seems keeping the board INSIDE the members area is the easiest way to solve this problem - but I do want the general public to be able to read the board for promotional purposes.
## Deliverables
1. I require vBulletin forum package to be installed on my server behind my members' gateway which is protected with a password file. Members can create their own user accounts - I do NOT need the members' password file to "write to" the vBulletin board. 2. I require a script to be written which will generate on a regular basis an updated "mirror copy" of the entire board which is identical in every way to the "live" forum behind the members' area EXCEPT it is "read only." 3. My sites are erotic text story sites. This requires that any programmers are over 18 and comfortable with adult themes.
