Fixing vBulletin and bringing the hacker community back together.

[13th_Disciple]

then make an open source distribution of vBulletin.. comes with zero support, zero aid from jelsoft proper.. and contributions are dependant on community input alone.. therefore it can be ported to whatever a person sees fit..

so for a full service, fully supported, ready to run forum setup, you buy your license.. else you opt for an open source code for vBulletin that has none of the above.. it has the basic functionality to run, but past that, it's all up to the end user and community to figure it out..

and to point to a very good case.. FreeBSD.. it is fully free, ready to run, but zero support except from the community.. however, you can get the handbook, all CD's and such for about 60 dollars..

it can also open up a lot of folks to input ideas and info into vBulletin that otherwise have no way to buy a leased or owned license..
