CMS or Forum? Integrating vBulletin with existing site
 

Hello,

We have an existing site with hard-coded html content.

Would like to enable the visitors to add content. Original idea was to add vBulletin Forum, but wondering if the full Publishing version (CMS + Forum) makes sense.

If you have experience with integrating the CMS with an existing html site, would like to know:

1) Did content have to be re-entered through the CMS interface, or is there some other way to port it over?
2) Were you able to maintain the same menu / sub-menu structure of the existing site?
3) Any issues encountered?

Thanks and Regards,
HiFlyer
