    I want to create a forum with v bulletin technology. I don't have its license. As I don't have budget to get a license. I think that I should first run it as on nulled script of VB. After when I earn from adsense, I would change it to licensed? What do you guys say?

    You're going to get in trouble for pirating. They're not stupid.

    Obviously you can do it but there are some risks involved with using nulled scripts.

    I suggest you try to go legit first. If it doesn't pan out for you, you can always sell the license (I think).

    Back in the days I did the same and eventually I got donations from my members to go legit. The benefits such as support is great to have if you have any questions.

    yes I think the members can donate to get a license. First think is to consider that I don't have fund to get license. I am expert in Forums. I have been taught and I have experience too. So, I think that when I have budget then I will transfer to licensed one.

    But what's wrong with someone like MyBB? Other than ripping off their customers, what can vBulletin do that MyBB can't do?

    Actually VB is one of the best forum script that's why. And my several friends are using this. I Wish I had a budget.

    After the December fiasco, maybe you should think again. Perhaps XenForo might be for you. It's made by the guys who made vBulletin 3, and has been proven to be much faster and lighter than vBulletin. Prices are also a hell of a lot cheaper.
