Want a VB forum but can't afford the costs?

[Tim.]

Hey There,

I was thinking about VB Forums and that sort of thing lately, and i wondered about the idea of renting out VB forums to people for Monthly/Yearly Payments.

The current cost of a VB forum is £55 Per Year EXC VAT. Which means it'll be something like £60+ in total.

If i was to offer VB forum rental for around £40 a Year INC Vat. Would you be intrested In it. As far as updates and such are concerned you would be fully covered and we would pay for the updates and such. I would be prepared to offer monthly payments of around £4.00 a Month which is a reasonable cost - would cost £48.00 in total - But VB don't offer this

Is this a good idea? If not how could i improve this? Make it better?

Selling it is, however re-distributing multiple licenses isn't.

Yea but they would pick up on it and would probly ask questions.

Surely you'd be making a loss though or either I'm not understanding...

I was thinking the same thing.

And you could get around the rules by says you are simply a slient partner in the website in question, you provide the Vb software, and for your part you get paid.

What he's thinking is investing in bulk vB's [you can buy in bulk and get so much off] and he can sell them at a monthly price or a cut-price from vB and make a small profit.

However, this is against T&C's because bulk buying is for big companies and such.

Only for big companies? Seems a bit of a dumb rule, how can they determine what's a big company and not? Why would a company need more than one vB?!

[Funya Chin]

Well, that's not the rule but that's what it's there for.

Say there's a company that owns a network of sites, for say a football site that owns a different website for each football club and each has their own forum and requires a different vB. However, the company still owns all the sites.

That sort of thing.
