Default What got you into vBulletin?

What made you deside to buy a vBulletin or how were you first introduced to vBulletin?

For me I was looking for some Pokemon stuff (this was a LONG while ago) and happened to find a site called PGamers. I joined there and have been visiting them ever since. Thanks Guichi for making such a great place.

well, the guy i was modding for was using a pirated version which back then i didn't even know what vbulletin was, or php, so i had no idea what it was, just that it worked, i finally moved up the ranks with him and became admin of the board...then one day he got a mail that said he had to take it down or something like that so he bought it and i've been hooked ever since even before he had the legal version...classic story lol

I was a member of a large bass forum, and got really into it, and decided to start my own community, but with a different focus.

Lets see... I started using Discuss (yuck!) back a few years ago before I knew much about what I was doing. As my site started to grow, the fact that Discuss couldn't do something as simple as splitting into multiple pages made me realize I was going to have to find a different board (or keep archiving the posts every other day). I started searching for different forum software and found quite a few that were nice, but most were lacking at least a feature or two that I wanted. Then I stumbled across vBulletin. When I saw the regular interface I was impresseed, then I saw the admin interface and was blown away.

I once visited a site for Diablo 2 which used UBB.
They switched over to vb 3 month after my registration there.
I was very active so i became mod and few months later became Admin.
I learnt PHP through vb and decided to buy my own vb for my new net project...

I posted on a music site which ran UBB and i posted a lot and then became mod. When it went down i decided to research forums and came accross vbulletin which was too expensive at the time. So i went with a cheap snitz forum. Then i improved my web-design skills and began working on vb's. Eventually i met a guy who is now a good friend and we decided to make a site together. And it's all worked well since then

I was a member at Velocd's forum when he used YaBB. Then he switched to vB, and I loved the differences between the two forums. So a few months later, I got my own vB license, so I could play around with it and practice working with PHP and MySQL.
