How about you try to get vBulletin? I've heard it is really god, although I've never actually experienced it myself...

And, how do you get them to say taht you can do it?
VanceSanta
Dude, vBulletin cost $150 for a liscence, plus $30 yearly for support, no way devin and steve can manage that. Although it is more than worth it for the money, us users make so many of these forums, how can we use the VB like that? Sorry, vBulletin is too expensive and valuable.
.pavhead
Oh, right. I didn't know. Well; never mind if it will cost even more =]

vBulletin is God? ph34r.gif

Yeah, I know, typo. tongue.gif

Yeah, VB is KILLING Invision, but Invision is trying. But because I belong to NarutoForums.com, I am so connected to VB, that when I get to buy a forum liscense, it'll be VB.

I saw this problem somewhere else.

VB is not allowed to be hosted because it is against the license, it is not like the IPB 1.3 license so this can never be hosted LEGALLY
.pavhead
Damn. they should make one under such a license.
Cheating98
I admit VB is better than IPB, but since IPB is free that is why we like it.

if VB was free that will be cool and alot of people will love it to.

since VB is better than IPB I dont see that happening of making a copy free, but who knows?
.pavhead
Yeah...Who Knows!
steve
There used to be a vBulletin Lite version, that was free, but it wasn't the same as the real deal.
.pavhead
Well, can you get that?
steve
No, there's no point. I think they scrapped that in 2002. We're happy to host vBulletin, but you're going to have to have a legitimate license first. Which means you're going to have to pay for one. There's no way to provide you any form of vBulletin for free.
.pavhead
Ah, Damn. Never mind then. Maybe one day they'll(vBulletin) see the error of their ways lol.

vbulletin sucks...ipb owns...the skins, fast servers, makes it ipb a better baord.
.pavhead
I've never tried vB so i don't know.
VanceSanta
VB outclasses IPB in many ways. There is a reputation system in where people can give members reputation. The posting is more fun, not to mention an owned license it cheaper than using IPB for real. Almost every VB forum I see has over 10,000 members, with a few at 100,000, and one that had over a million. But the price is the biggest problem.

I'm buying one, but as of now, I am extremely happy with RB, and I am going to advertise the heck out of it.
.pavhead
They should be a bit more like IPB, if they lowered the price, more people would purchase it.
VanceSanta
I'm sure everyone would purchase it, but it isn't too expensive at all, if you sell things on your site, it seems as if you spent nothing.
.pavhead
Yeah, but not everyone sells stuff on thir forums, I know that the SP do, but they're the only ones who I have ever seen do that.

In the future I am thinking of starting a money-making forum, but that will be in like 5 years since I am only 13. I may be getting a credit card next year though.
VanceSanta
I'm thirteen too, and after seeing these forums, I realize that to sell stuff, you should be at least 18, or have a parent, so waiting 5 years is smart.
.pavhead
Lol. You don't need to be 18 for a Credit Card in Egland, you have to be 14.
So I may wait til' I have a job first though; I'm hoping that I can get a decent job, then save money until I can buy some servers, and do something like a Hosting Service or something.
VanceSanta
Oh, your in England, nevermind. tongue.gif
Savilex
not all people likes VB imo.
