    I use the following mods:
    [USML] Advanced Link Posting Options
    AMP New Thread Button in Showthread
    Auto Check Remember Me & Rules Boxes
    Digital Point Position Ads
    Members who have Visited
    vBulletin Blog
    vBulletin CMS
    DragonByte Tech: Advanced User Tagging (Lite) - great feature. Reminds me of Xenforo's alert system

    VSa - (De)Bump Threads -this one is my most favorite. I bump old topics so that the newer users can see it.

    And:
    VSa - Advanced 'New Posts'
    VSa - Advanced Permissions Based on Post Count
    VSa - Attention Zero-Posters
    VSa - Moderating Stats - so I can know what my staff members are doing
    VSa - Top Posters of the Month/Year
    VSa - PayPal Donate

    I think I was a fan of more vBulletin 3.x mods and hacks over the 4.x options.
    I liked GAZ by thevbgeek
    I liked vbseo before 4.x came out
    I didn't mind vbadvanced but it had to be customized somewhat

    I like the CMS system. One of my sponsors bought me the vBulletin license that included the CMS system.

    I've mostly used spam protection mods ( such as StopForumSpam ) , to be honest.
    vBulletin forums gets flooded with spam if you just set up the install and let it be, ;)

    Post Thanks
    Web Templates
    Arcade
    Unread Posts & Rep comments in Navbar (not sure of the specific name but it's a Paul M. mod)
    Members who have visited
    Glowhost Spam-O-Matic (has been awesome over my old standards of Stop Forum Spam & Stop the bots)
    Rotating Banner System (vB 4)

    I've got a few others installed but these are what come to mind.

    I wish this hacked worked correctly for xenForo :(
    There is a mod for it but it doesn't show all users.
    I'm guessing we get 40 or so users on each day and I'd love to showcase that.
