    No, you have to pay for it. It's not a free forums system.

    It also requires a host with php and mysql. A owned licence costs 160 dollars and a leased one costs 85 dollars. ^_^ but it's worth it.
     
    You can purchase a license for the vBulletin software at vbulletin.com, it costs $85 to lease vBulletin for a year and $160 to permanately own a copy of it. If you go for the $160 owned license, you'll have 1 year of free upgrades, after that, you'll have to pay $30 a year for upgrades. The owned license is a better deal in the long run.
     
    and does phpBB contains all the features of vB... ofcourse not. XD
     
    True... But it's freeeee... *Marvels at things the internet holds*
     
    Freeeeeee doesn't mean it's good quality... btw...

    If you want something close to vB, try IPB. ^_^

    Alyssa everything free does not mean it is not good. I mean look at SA's forums, he use to have phpBB and them was a good forums, and phpBB is free.
     
    Yes, actually. Most if not all of VBulletin's features can be added on to a phpBB forum. Because since phpBB is open source, people can write and release modifications that add and do cool things to your forum. And it's all free :-p Mwa ha ha ha, bow down to teh open-sourceness :-p
     
    People can write and release modifications for vBulletin, it is called vBulletin.org. Also, I've seen phpBB forums that have been modified to have most of vBulletin's featureset, each page made a few hundred queries. vBulletin makes 7-14 queries depending on the page/settings. Not to mention that most people that install forum software do not plan on modifying it. Also, there is the fact that many people running IPB and phpBB want to run vBulletin but do not have the funds to purchase it so they are running IPB or phpBB. Infact, I mentioned that on the IPB support forums, then a bunch of people started replying confirming my theory. The IPB staff closed and then later deleted the topic.
     
    Yes, more queries means more bandwidth, right?

    *sighs*
     
    Some people completely rework the free forums to do vB style stuff, and keep it at a low querie amount...

    I personally don't really like vB, it almost has too many features in it. All you really need are the basic features that you can get in a free forum... and if you want some additional, then you can get mods. *shrugs*
     
    phpBB is a great program - true it doesn't have as much features as vBulletin, but it is great
     
    vBulletin is a terffic tool to attact members... :P... sure but... nm...
     
    i got phpbb and im basing my own forums off of it is that illegal???

    More queries means higher server load, having a few hundred per a page is a good way to get kicked off a shared host.
