Well, I just turned 16 3 days ago, and if it wasn't for my grandparents giving me $100, I wouldn't have vBulletin.
I spend most of my money on monthly hosting fees, so saving up was always a hard option.
I've used alot of other boards (phpbb, ikonboard, invision board, yabb, several others) and I thought they were really nice. Then I got a job as webmaster for a site that had vB. I saw the admin panel and loved it.
vBulletin is amazing software. They have every right to charge more then they do.
I'm sure you've noticed, looking on the posts about other forums, that they suck and are crap compared to vB. And alot more expensive.
I'm going to be paying for another year of every year for member access until vB is gone. And I don't think that will be anytime soon.
