So I got bored and looked around for a few addons for the forums while looking for a specific addon. I'll try to explain what they are with as less text as possible to keep it short.
User Status and Moods:
http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=243754
This addon allows users to set their mood. Simple addon that can increase the friendliness of the forums.
Default Avatar: (IMPLEMENTED)
http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=227947
This addon can help the forums look a little better, so for users who do not have an avatar, it will give them a default avatar. You can change the image if you don't want the one it uses.
GamerCards in Profile SideBar and Postbit:
http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=232033
This addon allows users to show their PSN gamer card, etc. Could possibly increase social activity between users/community.
Reputation Points for New Thread:
http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=317432
Basically like the title says, it gives a custom amount of reputation points for each new thread started. This way, users are rewarded not just for posting, but also for starting new threads.
vBSecurity v2:
http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=276228
Adds security measures for Admins
Post Thank You:
http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=231666
Allows users to 'Thank' someone for their post/thread. Really useful as it helps other users show appreciation if they're not in the mood to reply. That way if someone does something really helpful, people who weren't going to reply anyway can click the button to at least show their thanks in a quick and easy way.
Advanced User Tagging: (IMPLEMENTED)
http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=242733
Allows users to tag another member, example: [MENTION=12024]Iroflu[/MENTION]
This would 'mention' me in the forum, and would link to my profile, while also notifying me that someone mentioned me. Usefull if you don't want to quote someone (or if there isn't a quote by that member) and you want people to know you're specifically talking to them. Especially if they're not even involved in that thread in the first place. Very useful mod, 100% recommend getting it.
Staff Comments:
https://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=280772
Allows mods/staff/defined users to see/add a comment about a thread that normal users can't see.
Force Users to Read a Thread:
https://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=241754
This can be useful if you add new rules to the site, or something that is very important that everyone needs to read before continuing back to the forums.
Gender in Postbit or Postbit Legacy:
https://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=231260
Allows users to set their gender in their profile settings, which will then show up near their avatar in a post. I've seen this mod used multiple times before, even on my own sites. It helps users feel more at home, which can help the community grow.
Give Mods ModCP Link In Footer:
https://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=320760
I actually completely forgot Mods had their own control panel, so when I saw this I was initially confused. I, as a Mod at the time of writing this, do have access to the ModCP, which unless ExO doesn't want me to, I'd recommend having this mod, as it would help me get to the ModCP without having to bookmark it or anything. It basically places a ModCP link in the footer just like where the AdminCP link is for Admins.
Allow Users to Change Their User Title Color:
https://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=309222
This is a nice addon, as it gives users another reason to donate! Only VIP can change their user titles, so why not let them customize it a little more to show thanks for donating? It allows the user to add a hex code into their user title to give it a color.
User Status and Moods:
