    Hey, really i never even thought about this untill i saw a post on here. So can you download other peoples databases and then upload them onto your site. Like, a vbulletin database filled with members, and posts, and then upload that onto your website. Do people really do that, is it even legal? I don't know anything about this, i just saw it and was just wondering.

    No i mean like are there databases you can download, not take someones like that, but are their databases on the net that allows you to download them. Like can i find a database on the net that has like 100,000 threads and a million posts for vbulletin and download that and then upload it to my forum, can you do that.

    You might want to visit the Buy/Sell/Trade->Content forum on DP for example.
