vBB Lite?

[Lord Chaos]

Here's something I'd really like to see, a vBBlite, a vBB forum with some sort of limitation to it compared to a full version (like only X amount of users and so on), that you can ONLY purchase if you already own a fully registered copy of vBB.

This is because I have some large forums which I plan to upgrade to vBB in the future with a full license, one for each one...BUT I also have several minor forums (like with 10-100 users or there about, with only small activity) and it would really be a big waste of money to have to buy licenses for each and every one of them just for something that small. I could use a free board, but I'd really like to get used to working with just ONE board and learn the different ins and outs of it.

You think they could ever do that?

You get a discounted rate when buying multiple vB licences IIRC, check vB.com's order page to make sure. This would be better suggested there also :)

i got a good idea for vB Lite
use vB 1.0.0 ;)
there was a vB 1.0.0 wasnt there ?

[NTLDR]

IIRC vB Lite was a stripped down version of vB 1.x.

[Exero]

aaah ok, i wasnt here when they had vb lite or vb1.x
but they should bring back vb lite :D

whynot ?

[Zachery]

whynot ?
why give away a free copy of the software

[colicab-d]

cause its mince and folk will want he extra features of the full thing and thus buy it.

[Zachery]

thats what the admin demo is for

[NTLDR]

vB Lite wasn't at all representative of what vB 2.x was like and there were better free alternatives to it. If people want to see what vB is really like they have the forums and admin demo, which vB Lite couldn't even compare with.
