Going to Buy VB Lisense $ 180 !!! Any Consideration before this

Dear All,

I want to create a forum based based on political and cultural issues, people interacting with each other , discussions on all sorts of topics.

Now I think VB would be best for this. However, want to collect your thoughts on this weather to go for the purchase or some other software could do the job.

Your feedback and suggestions would be greatly welcome



Thanks

 

I've never used any other software except vbulletin. I love it!

 

Thanks man. But Is this the absolute best software to start community based discussions and is it easy to manage to all those guys who own a forum on VB.

 

I'm not a man..hehehhehehehe but that's okay!

Vbulletin is a simple software to use. I am not very good with coding. If I can do it anyone can. Also, if you go to their website, they have a test forum. You can actually test it. I did this before I bought it to make sure, I could handle it. Although, I had experience as an admin, I was afraid to actually start from scratch to set up a forum but I did really well. I think you'll be pleased with vbulletin.

 

thats great thanks Kyliemeg, just want to get some negitive feedback or alerts for a newbie starting his own forum with absolute no coding experience or instalation for that matter.

btw Is the instalation easy !!

 

I have heard many times that VB is the ideal software to use for community-based websites..

 

The installation is pretty simple. Do you know have a server in mind yet?

 

Trust me your making the right choice with VB good luck

 

Another good quality is vb has great support forums. vb org and vb net.......... The forums there are awesome and the members very helpful if you run into problems.

 

should I also get these ;

vBulletin Project Tools Features

are they usefull costs another $ 60 to the bill, Advise please

 

You could use a free software to do it. However I think you will find your self having to make alot of manual modifications which can cause alot of problems.

If money is the only issue why not use free software untill your website has generated enough income to pay for the licence.

 

Thanks for the tip !!! But I Just have bought the VB. Unfortunatly didn't register the domain name before. Now getting that registered and then i'll download the VB script.

Looking forward for some help in customizing the script too and I think this is the best place to ask for help.

 

Vbulletin is currently the best forum software.. so, go for it!

 

Go for vBulletin.. without any doubt.

 

vBulletin

Simplest way to install mods

Best forum software including AJAX

Everyone loves it.

DP Uses It.

 

vBulletin is amazing. I have 2 licenses myself, well worth it.

 

I never used vBulletin only Invision Power Boards, I think I'm going to go with vBulletin if I get another site

 

Thanks guys for your feedback. I have bought VB Now am having a little trouble configuring it !!! I'll keep you guys updated about how my experience goes with it !!

 

vbulletin.org has a lot of stuff on it. I love how many modifications and such are on there

 

Consider buying IPB.. IPB3 which will come out soon is a lot more powerful and search engine friendly than vb
