Default Does Burning Board Copy vB?
Look at a Burning Board like the one here: http://forum.starcraft-2.com/main.php

It looks very, very much like a vB. In fact, I thought it was a vB at first glance. It has the same Welcome Panel thing, the same Mod Drop Down list, basically the same welcome text, same forum leaders page, a lot of the text elsewhere is also the same, etc.... Is that... legal for Burning Board to copy vB so closely like that?

Yep its legal and this has already been discussed in great deal on vB.com in the chit chat forums.

Though I wasn't aware that they had started copying hacks as well now.

Copying our hacks is new to me as well... but it's not free anymore, right? WBB that is.

WBB 2.0 is gonna cost but there was a big arguement so it might not but I'm sure it will. I wonder if they will undercut vB?

I believe they will, it's good and all while it's free but I really don't think people will rather buy WBB over vB for only $10 (or whatever). Maybe they'll have a good user base at Germany though...

(BTW Scott your signature looks awful in the green style)

Yeah, it does.... The only way to do it and make it look universally good is to uncolorize everything.... A color that looks good in one style almost definetly won't look good in the others because the color scheme is opposite..... Anyway.....

I don't see how WBB could do very well with pay boards. They really aren't that famous like vB and many people who happen to stumble upon their site would probably be those who couldn't pay....
