Hi,

Is there any information available on how many vBulletin installations there are, worldwide?

Does anyone happen to know how many forums are there, worldwide? (Not just vBulletin.)

I've been googling for a while, attempting to find out, with no success.

-- The number of e.g. phpBB installations also seems unknown. It seems people roughly google for "powered by phpBB" to estimate the number of installations.

http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewt...f=64&t=1889905 - says 19.5 millions

(Why would companies keep such information private? If e.g. phpBB or vBulletin has the highest number of installations, wouldn't it be beneficial for them to show how popular they are?)

Regards, Magnus

Doubtfull you will get an answer to this question.

The company will never disclose the number of licenses sold, and can not even estimate the number of installations, including the illegal ones.

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