The IM system wasn't deleted. When

we got our new website a couple years back, we moved to a new server and installed a completely clean copy of the

forum software. The IM system isn't a regular part of vBulletin, it is what is known as a "contribution" or

"hack." We could probably have it put in again, but I imagine we would have the same problem with it that the PM

system was causing, providing an avenue for commercial spammers and their agents.

I like Vbulletin. I am used to it.

There is a free board that is supposed to be nearly as good, but the admin side is completely different. There is a

way more stuff in there than you can imagine.

If you mean what language the

application is written in, it is displayed in the URL of all the various pages you open up: PHP
