What made you decide on vBulletin?


What vBulletin feature was it that made you decide to shell out for a license? For me it was really the plugin system. I liked the idea of not having to spend all day adding modifications, like with phpBB. In particular I really wanted a decent arcade system; I had spent a lot of time adding one to a phpBB forum and wasn't happy with the buggy results. That was the final straw for me... got me a serious forum package and never looked back.

Re: What made you decide on vBulletin?


I had moderated on a vbulletin site for a few years before starting my own forum so I knew the ins and outs of it pretty well. And the majority of the other forums I visit are vbulletin. I did look at phpbb but I didn't like the admin panel or the way it looks so went for vbulletin.

To be honest, I think vbulletin is miles ahead of every other platform.

Re: What made you decide on vBulletin?


it definitely is the best, I actually dread working on my little phpbb sites nowadays, but I know they'll never be big enough to justify buying vBulletin for them

Re: What made you decide on vBulletin?


thing is, in the grand scheme of things, vB really isnt that expensive. other forums owners are all "oo he runs vb, eletist, always thinking they are better"

DUDE! it is $180, that is less then a couple pairs of sneaks, less then we spend a month on cigarettes...lol

(well we are better than them... lol)
if those little sites had any chance of turning a profit I'd definitely buy vbulletin for them.

Re: What made you decide on vBulletin?


i mean, peopel have different reasons for using what they are using, and it is understandable, ask tvdinner i think he uses wowbb or a variant of it and loves it...and theres nothing wrong with that.

Re: What made you decide on vBulletin?


agreed, some people, small groups or clubs, dont have a need for all the power and scalability of vB so the free price tag wins...
