Don't be so sure about the resources part, Rich.

One thing you have to keep in mind is that the UBB is a resource hog. It sucks up more CPU time than Rosie at a ice cream bar, primarily because the search index is constantly being added too and modified through the adding/editing of posts.

Every time a post is added, the search index is redone. Every time a post is edited, the search index is completely redone. This sucks up processor time. A solution I forgot to add is to remove the edit feature (through the control panel) but that's really more beneficial than the search feature IMO.

Anyhow, see what you can get out of them, and beware the bandwitdh charges they can slap on you.
