I'm looking on getting a vBulletin license tomorrow, do you think it is worthit? I am looking to market the forum ALOT to get more and more hits/members. I'm wanting the £53 deal on it which is a leased license for a year. Should I buy it?

Depends if you feel you can get it back in either VIP (mainly for fansites), services, advertisments or donations.
It depends on how many users you are expecting.
if its under a hundred not really. however if its established on another forum software, yes.
Its like Habbox started off with phpBB before moving to vBulletin.
If your starting from scratch i wouldnat say it's advisable! I would start with a free forum then expand from that.
Only get vbulletin if you have a big community, if not use MyBB which has same features.
Well Vb is a brillent softwere if it for a site that been around and got plenty of user get it if not dont but you could be like me buy it anyway for non profit :P
If your going to buy a vB get a owned one,Trust me ;D
I say get IPB, more advanced and has had most of the features off of vB for a few years before it, like Quick Reply in threads, Subscriptions. The Admin CP is a bit more advanced I believe now aswell, considering 2.3 came out last month.
Not to mention the member profiles are alot more advanced, you can rate a member, view their posts, topics and make comments on the members profile.
get leased it better eithen because with owned you got to pay £40 a year to get updates
No, I'd say start with PHPbb, then go to VB owned, due to the fact if you don't have a susessfull comunity, you can always sell it ;)Quote:
