    I'm thinking about starting a forum and want to be able to make some money off it. Would vbulletin be the best place to make a forum and sell ad space on it? Are there better forum building sites?
    Thanks!

    vBulletin is software, it doesn't do any marketing or help you build a user base.

    Thanks Shawn!

    Anyone can start a forum and sell ad space. If you want something free, check out MyBB. But if you don't have a good forum to start with, people aren't really going to want to buy ad space on it.
