hi I was wandering if you could make a VB forums for free or if you could download it free cuzz if it puts ads on the top kinda like serebii's then you shouldn't have to pay I don't think it's kinda like proboards but anyway is their cuzz i'm on the website now so can someone tell me how if you can?

VB is not free.It is 100$ a month I think.If it is free,that's illegal,and you will and can be sued if you steal it.

You can't download a vB for free or get one for free lol,Well it would be illegal anyways,here go to vBulletin.com If you really want one,they are 160.00,and if you don't wanna pay doamin and all that get ads that pay,kinda like PPn,but your site has to be good and have alot of hits,good luck!

aRedMoon January 17th, 2005 10:59 AM

vB is far from free.

And the ads at Serebii's are put in by Serebii. They're to help pay for the server and stuff.

If you want, you can download vBulletin Lite, which was discontinued several years ago, but I don't see why anybody in their right mind would do that...

Kipkip January 17th, 2005 11:27 AM

You can use Mybb, phpBB, XMB, and SMF which are all free. Check this thread.

It's illegal to download that now.

actually, it is $85 for a 1 year license, and $165 for a lifetime license with 1 year of updates. And IF you are caught with a nullified license, they will give you 3 days before they contact your webhost.

That's probably so no one will use such horrible forum software lol.

katty January 17th, 2005 5:41 PM

so far i've never seen free ones, =/ but invisionboard is just as good.

Trikip January 17th, 2005 6:32 PM

It's also more expensive than vB, lol. Do you mean invisonfree?

aRedMoon January 17th, 2005 6:34 PM

IPB is cheaper than vB...? At least I think so.

*uploads my vB* ^o^

Morkula January 17th, 2005 6:36 PM

Nope, IPB is more expensive than VB...IPB is $199 for a lifetime license.
Which is stupid, really, because VB>>>>>>>>>>>>>IPB in every way. =/

aRedMoon January 17th, 2005 6:38 PM

Last time I checked, it was like $30 o_O

*shrugs*

Then all should go with vB =D

Imakuni? January 18th, 2005 3:36 AM

i have IPB trial 2.0 for whoever wants it... just email me

Thomas January 18th, 2005 8:25 PM

If IBP costs money than wtf is http://www.clicdev.com/

Geometric-sama January 18th, 2005 8:55 PM

That uses an old version of IPB which was free. For a vB type forum use www.mybb.com which is free.

Happy Dude January 18th, 2005 10:47 PM

I saw a site with vbulletin.but im not going to post it.because i think it was illlegal.

Pokemon Is Poker January 19th, 2005 1:45 AM

Why is vbulletion > invision? I always liked invision better, personally. Are there reasons other than just preference of layout etc.?

I get invision boards free with my hosting however, which rules. It also has easy phpbb installation... if you're stupid I guess. Personally I hate phpbb, I'm an admin at the official netbattle forums and it seems terribly buggy, although there are a bunch of unnecessary mods installed as well.

XD I can't believe I'm correcting a mod!

It's http://www.mybboard.com :P

aRedMoon January 19th, 2005 2:21 PM

Most forums have their title as the URL. It's an easy mistake. -_-;;


And Invision is ugly, and hard to skin.

Kipkip January 19th, 2005 3:22 PM

I like phpBB best because it doesn't have any usless features like all the other boards. And hacks are fun! :D I suggest, if you can, wait out until phpBB3 which comes out in late Feburary or ealry March.
