Vbulletin, how does it work?

Hello,

I'm currently a phpbb forum owner but the features seem not to be great.
So i would like to know:

*So you buy Vbulletin, do you have to pay for every update, how does it work?, how many updates are there?

*Is it difficult to covert phpbb to Vbulletin?

 

I use to run a phpbb forum which I later converted to vBulletin. Converting it is simple via a program that Vbulletin supplies called impex.

Once you buy Vbulletin you have updates for life.

 

Vbulletin is simply the best!

switching could be hard it depends on how much you know.

 

I agree with lilc800 need to find someone who know the to convert it, its risky

 

But these updates are only for the current 4.0? What if they bring out a new version?
And about switching, i have several mods installed, wouldn't these give troubles?
I would take the publishing but if they charge every time it's pretty expensive...

 

if you dont have the budget stay with your old forum or use nulled vb..
its your choice

 

I just wanna know, how many major updates are there?
When is the next coming?
Is it smart to take a liscense now or just wait??

 

well the last major update was VB v4. I wouldn't expect VB5 for years.

 

Why is it the best?
Why are all big forums taking on vbulletin?

 

Because it's a professional piece of software, easy to install, configure, customize, and monetize via its built-in membership and ad management tools.

Nulled software is not a choice if you're serious about your business.

Not completely true. If you buy vB4 you'll get free upgrades until vB5 is out, per their licensing terms. You will then have yo pay an upgrade fee, I assume.
