If you have branding free rights on it you can...which is $130 i think, otherwise NO and if Jelsoft finds out, they'd probably revoke your license. I'm proud to wear 'Powered by vBulletin' because of how amazing the software is.

Unless you have purchased an unbranded version of vBulletin, yes it is against their TOS in which you agreed to when you purchased vBulletin.

That would be fine, if it can be seen by the naked eye

Powered By vBulletin

You can however remove the line from the title tag.

You can remove 'Powered by vBulletin' in the title but the footer must have atleast:
vBulletin, Copyright ?2000 - 2007, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
These restrictions don't occur with branding-free licenses.

You can remove it from the <head> but not from anywhere else and you can not say Yoursite - Powered by Lexus (or something 'powered by' other than vbulletin...)
