vbulletin is probably the best priced piece of software on the market
there are various pieces of php software ie. galleries, links etc which charge up to $800.00
a lot of companies just dont offer support - this is where vbulletin really excels
i pm'ed bira on christmas day cause i had a hack which was causing errors. She kindly went away and wrote an uninstaller program for me. Not many companies would do that
for example, i paid a couple of hundred dollars to have one of my sites listed in yahoo(dont get me started on yahoo!!).
They placed my site in the totally wrong section.
They have still not replyed to about 8 of my emails
if i had a problem with something regarding vbulletin, it would probably be resolved in a few hours
what you havr to remember is that warez sites and emulation sites are killing the livelihoods of the people they are ripping off
how would you feel if you spent years of your life developing a software program only for some idiot to rip you off because they though it was grossly overpriced?
It isnt right.
At the end of the day, programmers have to eat and live just like everyone else.
The only shame is that the internet is unbelievably unregulated and its virtually impossible to stop the warex sites popping up
