How much is it to remove that? .. I want to use vBulletin on my site, but just for the user profiles, I don't even want the forum itself. I don't want the vBulletin Copyright thing in the footer though...

How much does it cost to remove that?

...btw, whatever piece you use, it's globally the software that you use, so it is a single copyright for the whole thing...

Holy sh*t! 170$! I'll just move it to somewhere where not many people look.

You can reduce it to just 'Powered by vBulletin [new line] Copyright ©2000 - 2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.', if that's any better. How the heck do you figure out using it for just the profiles though?

Haha, for a new project I'm working on.. I may use the forum part for a few sections, aswell as the subscription part. But that's pretty much all. It's going to be almost 100% customized.

I am pretty sure that would be a violation of the license agreement.

No it's not. As long as it's visible, and doesn't blend to the background. I'm allowed to move it in the footer template.

Sorry, maybe I misunderstood since you just said...

Sorry, I meant like.. Instead of the center of the footer, maybe move it down lower, and put it in a corner, like on vb.org.
