Why vB2, and not vBulletin 4? vB4 is the best, in my opinion anyway.
Like others have said, its not just about the security issues in the latest PHP7. vB2 wont even install in PHP7. But thats just not the security issues, its the entire vB2 framework, its how vB2 is coded.
You would have to rewrite most, if not ALL of the vB2 PHP files, for it to even install in PHP7. Then if you get it to install in PHP7, im sure you will run into problem after problem after problem after install. PHP had so many changes over the years, its crazy.
Then after you rewrite most or ALL of vB2, at that point most of the code wouldn't even be vBulletin's code, it would be yours. lol.
If you want to go down that route, your better off Coding and Building your own Forum Software from the ground up, for PHP7.
Thats just my two sense, good luck. To be honest, vB4 would be a lot better, and a lot more stable, with a lot more features then vB2.
