You won't find a better board program for the money. Even for my little site, it was money well spent.

I (finally) convinced the larger site I work for into buying a license, after using a freebie (cgi/flat file) board for the last 5 years - and now they're in VB heaven leased:

I just thought I'd say I have been very happy with VB; I just started my site 1 week ago and with no advertising I get about 3-4 new members a day and 1,500 page views/day.. :stoned: It is great in keeping people coming back again and again...

[QUOTE]Originally posted by newvbuser
Hello all what's the main difference between leased and owned license? Is there any drawback in purchasing a leased license for one year?

BTw what is the policy regarding changing color of the vBulletin copyright information posted below each message window? UBB has an option in the style setting where the moderator could set the color to match the background color so that it is not intrusive and allows webmasters to highlight their own copyright information.

Thanks in adv!

I went from EZBoard to vBulletin.

vBulletin paid for itself in the first 2 days. The customizability, the robust searching. I love it.

I think vb is an excellent product and it's cheap.

*raises his hand infront of the masses*

There seems to be a lot of people here who like to knock the guys and gals at YaBB/phpBB etc because they're free boards? Before switching to vB, I originally used YaBB and I have to say, I would not be here to purchase vB without them. My site was born and bred on YaBB... if we had a problem, they answered it within hours, if not minutes, if you have a suggestion they really listen to you and what you have to say, and not only that, they give an awful lot of people the ability to host some damn fine forum software, build up a community and get their site moving in the early stages.

There's plenty of coders here who'll knock the faults of some of the other free boards (knock UBB all you like, $200 for an inferior board and bad support..?), but these guys are real hero's. I bought vB because I could afford it, and because it's the best board by a mile, but, at the end of the day, Jelsoft is doing it for the money, the programmers are doing it for the money, people from phpBB and YaBB lay their backsides on the line for nothing in return, get nothing but abuse for their efforts, and still manage to produce some damn fine forum software.

I personally think Yabb and other boards are great to be free.. I wanted all the features of vBulletin but that does not mean that a free board wouldn't meet the needs of some people.....

Oh one more thing.. Once/if Yabb and all these other "free" boards get a foot in the market they will probably just start charging....
