Whoa whoa whoa.

Why not think up a website idea that is unique and not done yet? Why are you wanting to start something that hundreds of people have attempted? Unless you can do one of those sites in your list better than what is already out there, you won't be as successful as you are hoping. That's the cold hard truth.

Why would someone use your website over Youtube? Why would someone use you over Last.fm? Over Myspace / Facebook? Chances are, they won't. Especially if you're just going to buy a vBulletin license, and have third party modifications. ANYONE can do that. There would be absolutely no uniqueness, and no reason to join.

For vB styles / templates, there's plenty of competition out there too. To compete, you better be pretty damn good at providing releases and updates for all the versions of vB. I wouldn't want to take on that headache for a measily $30 a pop.. But then again, I never did code vB skins like most people do..
