Admins can do the above and manipulate forum software to some extent. For example, I can create site announcements, new forums/subforums, change the order things appear in, probably change the color scheme, merge accounts when old members show up under a new name, edit member info, and have slightly advanced (but cumbersome) abilities to query the member database. I can edit the bad words filter and the "can't use that in your username" list.
I can't update the forum software or view statistics or logs or anything that isn't presented in the nearly, but infuriatingly not intuitive, VBulletin Admin Control Panel. (The number of menus inside menus is mind boggling.)
