THE main reason I am seriously considering this MAJOR comitment to join here and start using this board is because of the amount of response I have received from the staff and comunity here.
I have not received one reply to my post made over there (IBF). Not one.
Here is my delima now, not asking you solve it for me, just stating facts as I see them:

vB
$160 for just license and support, no one to install and convert this for us and $30 for each additional upgrade. Will need to add on a portal and possible upgrade issues cause of it that I would require assistance doing.

IBF
$199.00 includes instalation and conversion as well as no additional costs (at this time) per upgrade as well as support. Portal is included in product.

Me being a doofus on installation process, as well as coding, I would need as much help as humanly possible or have someone do this for us.
Because of my need for conversion and a portal.
Trust me, do not get me wrong OR anyone reading this later, I really like vB and am in no way putting them down for their prices. It just appears that this could get quite costly for someone that does not know how to do all of this and when it comes to upgrades and add ons, etc.
THIS has got to be one of the best support responses for a board I have been on. It is amazing to get so much help on concerns such as mine. Normally you get one or two responses and a "Well, you need to choose" we are done replying to you kind of response.

I think if I could get past the initial upgrade/conversion to the vB system, my worries would be over. UNTIL the upgrade plans once the portal was installed also.

The upgrade fee that Jelsoft charges is for 1 year of upgrades not per upgrade. Plus it is not required that you upgrade to every new version. We will let you know if a security risk is found and then you can choose to upgrade or download a patch.

Our installation process is quite simple and we have step by step instructions on how to do it in our 500+ page Manual. These instructions include screenshots in order to provide more guidance. If you know how to turn on your computer and use a web browser, you can install vBulletin.

The add-on portals are third party software so we cannot support them but the vBAdvanced installation is quite easy and they provide an excellent support community of their own.

As for converting from your existing software. We provide excellent one-on-one support and guidance for you to complete this process. We did offer it as a service but a majority of our customers complained about it so we made downloadable scripts for it.

I did it!
I made the plunge and bought the lifetime.
The staff and members here and at vB.com convinced me that the support even for a newbie canno be surpassed!
I say thank you and make a spot for me here at my new hoem.

Now, who wants to get all of this up and running for us?
HE HE

You may also want to check with the php-nuke community (nukecops.com nukeresources.com)

I have heard of a few people that drop phpbb and install vBulletin in its place.
