The Arcive of Official vBulletin Modifications Site.

I resigned this week and gave up a 12yr career in IT to run my vbforum full time. It's a niche photography site with almost 12,000 members. It was a big decision but the site is generating good consistent revenue has 20+ advertisers and a loyal subscriber base. This is the end result of 3yrs hard work on my community. I could have never pulled this off without vbulletin so am beyond gratefull for this stellar application. I suppose some others here have made the leap too? I'd like to hear your stories!

Congrats sross, I wish you the best of luck with your new venture.

But just out of curiousity - what's the URL to your forum?

Thanks guys, I'm very lucky to have such enthusiatic forum members who believe in the sites cause and contribute to keep it going. My future plans will involve taking a more e-zine approach and professional content rather than just the usual forum discussions. First I need to upgrade the whole site to 3.5.x which will be a big job..

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
