Its possible i haven't looked at the code it may rely heavily on the registration to there site. Zoints isn't a complete system they rely on 3rd party software like the chat-software and the mp3 player. If someone who's good with flash and shockwave made a player and used an ajax shout box as a form of instant messenger it possible to make it a full stand alone component to vbulletin. the draw back it all that ajax would fry your server for good. The load would be huge if everyone had a ajx chat box in there profile.
