vB too pricey?
 

How many of you this that paying 160$ too pricey for a forum

Does the vB team pay for their own forums?

No. Its a good price for what you get. A year free of updates and access to 100s of hacks aswell as trouble shooting... but I sware I saw this thread already posted...

LDeer: They develope it.. what do you think?

That's less than $20 a month for the best forum software... I think it's cheap compared to a lot of other software out there.

My friend bought it so it doesn't matter much to me, I'm paying for the site though so it evens out... in the long run it doesn't though :ermm: lol

Yeah, it seems sort of foolish once I look back...

HEH.. they pay their own salaries by buying vbulletin Oo

ubb.classic: $199
ubb.threads: $229
opentopic: Monthly Fee $299 ,Setup Fee $299 (pro verson $900 monthly and with setup)

nuff' said. vbulletin has a great price.

Yeah, when I saw the OT fees, I was shocked. :eek: Who can afford that???

I think it is an awesome price for everything you get with it :banana:

I seriously know you Julie Oo

not to mention its hosted on one of the worlds wrost servers ;)

Thats it Loo I am going to swith to OT I cannot take the price of this forum anymore >:(

If your serious about your site and message board, you should be willing to pay $160 for a script as good as vBulletin. And I personally think it is worth every penny. :)

did you know that some companies charge $800 for their software?
VB is extremly cheap for a professional piece of software. if you think some "free" boards are better, think again. dont get fooled by the nice graphs.. is a known issue most of free boards got inspired from vB, who truly pioneered the bulletin boards concept of interactivity and reliability.
great tech support also. period.

Hacker members earnd a money from vB.com?
=============================================

Uhh...yea ok.

I payed the 160 bucks one :D good price I must say ;) and only 30 bucks per year :D

vB's prices are great! Highly inexpensive.

VB licenses are VERY CHEAP, considering the great support you get and what can be done with it.

the renewal fee's are great if you own a non-expiring liscence.

I don't think it is too expensive, sure, being webmaster you have a lot of expensize to cover, but really you cannot cut your budget on the community aspect, they are the ones who always visit your site. Your most money comes from your regulars.
