I would agree with vb2, but why vb3? tell you the truth I haven't really seen a reason yet to upgrade to 3.5. vb3 works just fine, I could care less about the Ajax system in the 3.5.

However, I agree that it should be archived once vb4 is out .

I still say that vB 3.0 should stay as-is. vB 2.0 should become free and have all hacks, etc, put to a different forum for the free board (Allows Non-AJAX board, and helps bring publicity, and pre-features to what they can get for 3.0 and 3.5) and make it so that they can still monitor the users, via, keys, or something, so that they need the key to download the hacks, etc. I am just making a suggestion. I do not want to see vB's hard work down the drain. If they do decide to Archive 2.0 will we be able to disect the board and do with it what we please? (that is my question) Because I would be willing to dissect the board, Edit it a little bit, and set it for a freeware on my own forum (will use the actual 2.0 too) and have the modifications etc on there? I would just need help getting an install hack like vb has now on 3.5 to allow them to install/uninstall hacks on the fly. How does that sound to you guys?

I dont think making it free is a good idea. Because you will make popular a Software name but with less utilities as the Actual SW. I mean, a lot of new people will realise about a new forums software and test it, but then go away for phpBB or something with more utilities because vB 2.x lacks of them.

If you make something free, at least make a demo version, like vb3.5.x as a demo, with a lot of restricted aplications. For example in the Thread tools some legend that says "Upgrade and you could do this and this and this".

I dont know if i was very clear. Sorry for my english.

This thread is definitely NOT about making the actual software free, or doing anything at all to it.

It is about whether the hacks for said software are archived, on this site.

I would venture to say vB2 is currently better than anything phpBB or most free forums have to offer. If this was a vote to make vB2 free, I'd support it. Just think...you give a mouse a cookie.

Why not boost awareness of vBulletin by making a very watered-down version of vBulletin 2 available for free? phpBB and IPB did it, and there are probably more InvisionFree and Forumer forums out there than vBulletin ones. It was rubbished in this thread, but it's achieving nothing by rusting in the corner. When was the last time vB actually updated 2.x?

vBForFree.com or something? It would make members see that they are getting this great product for free, yet they know that for 80 dollars out of their pocket, they can get the whole version.

Please consider it. I wouldn't ever use it, but the majority of forumers (wannabe Admins, lets say) aren't even old enough to have a PayPal account.

Exactly my point! vBulletin would me ranked number one overall becuase it would have the number one suport for free and payed boards!

http://twwarez.be/index.php? <-- not what you think.. it's what i have set up in a short period of time to make them notice what it could look like for a free board.. notice how,i changed everything to "free". I got bored so i decided to do a little more editing and make it 1.0.. thats just me so dunt mind that :P

(yes it is a pirated board, and i made it here so they know it was soley for this purpose only, please do not ban me or anything, I just wanted to show you what i meant... just tell me when to take ti down and i will immediately!)

Ah, that is the problem we have.

Support. A whole new community would be asking (no, demanding) for support, and the Staff here who already help the paid members, will have their workload doubled.

And the other thing: that kind of proposal would be best suited to vBulletin.com. This is an unofficial site, so there's a chance nothing will be read by them.

Many would say the same about vB2. Again, my opinion, until Jelsoft stops offering it as a downloadable package, it should be left alone.
