Isn't it like 50 quid for a license? A few quid a month for hosting? It's not that much. :)
Well its £40 for a year license, or £90 for a perm license. Web hosting i suppose isnt that much.
But how do people pay for it, paypal?
or use their perrents credit cards.Quote:

True, meh, im thinking of getting one, but the thing is, you pay for the license and web hosting, no one goes on the site, thats what the problem is for me.
do what hhgs is doing then.Quote:

At the momment if your thinking about running a habbo forum, Dont do it. You'l never get in the game. if you want a habbo site you will have to make it extremly unique ether way its going to be pretty hard nowdays to get into the Habbo fansites
Im not familiar with HHGS, what are they doing lol?
Anyway, browing, what would be best for a average habbo forum running vB?

9000 unique hits pls.
Mate i woulnt even try it would seriously be a waste of your money, Im telling you now ;P
No point making a vB forum as they're exspensive and it's hard, if your site isn't that popular to get the money back/earn profit.
Thanks for the encouragement lol
It's only the truth, it's not good to see money go down the drain :P
True, but i may do it for another popular online racing team im with, which we already have our own free servers which are brilliant because we know the guy who hosts them. I dont know what we could do without him. So i may be able to get a vB and host it on that.
/me thinks it out.
Anyway, thanks for all the advice guys :)
What i'd do if i was you is make a forum its unique i mean Saurav who used to be a smod on here was just a common kid whos like 16-17 atfirst saurav.co.uk was a little like eportfolio then he thought o il make a like torrent forum and now he gets over 3000 people logging in a day i mean its still not a bad idea making a torrent site while you can but if you can think of something thats so unique expect the best :]

Yer, its all good, im currently using a free Zetaboard for our forum on our team, but i think a vBulletin would make it look totally more proffessional.
Thats where your wrong, Some of the biggiest boards in the world are free boards, Which means buying a vB would be a dumb idea im trying to think of ideas here but im clueless atm :[
Good Luck :)!
You're clueless because you're chatting dirty to me on MSN!!!!!!!!Quote:
