Ok, I did a search for "Digichat" on vbulletin.org (which is a vBulletin resource site) and came up with this -->> http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=55816

There are tons more hacks/solutions there, all you have to do is do a search.

No, I don't use either myself so I have no knowledge about that.

Do you know if there is there a way to integrate the two?

Although the other free boards (phpbb, invision, etc) are great, IMO vBulletin in the best choice for a popular site as it is the most complete and popular message board system. For chat I recommend DigiChat which I'm sure you will like.

Text chat -->> http://www.digichat.com/

I'm unsure what you mean by "several hosts with permissions to delete/edit/copy or move posts" and "need to be able to add hosts there as well with rights to banning people".

Do you just mean that you want to capability for more than one administrator account?
Or do you actually have more than one server which needs access to administer the forum software?

I would recommend Invision Power Board and vBulletin. As far as I know, you won't find a bbs (bulletin board system) & chat combo. You may, however, find hacks for a bbs that will allow you to integrate a 3rd party chat program.

Am I correct though that neither one of these solutions have chat capabilities? Paying is no problem we paid for eshare and have no problems paying for something new as long as it works well.

phpbb is a very good free forum, which i use, its easy to set up, and modification to suit your site is also quite simple, it has all the requirement you list except a sub board, but in their next version sub forums are being implemented, by hosts i take it you mean administrators, you can have more than one with phpbb.

If you want to purchase a board id say most people go for the one your looking at right now.
