| vBulletin Since we're running PC101 on vBulletin software I thought it logical to start a VB section. |

Rep Power: 6  | VBulletin software price increase...
Hey y'all,
If you're not already aware, the price for the forum software vBulletin is going up starting June 1st! Eeek! Here's a snipped of the details... Leased and Owned Licenses
We currently offer two different types of vBulletin license: Owned and Leased.
The Owned vBulletin license allows you to run the software on your site indefinitely. Along with this license, you will receive one year of free updates. Beyond the first year, a renewal fee is payable to obtain updates for an additional year.
The Leased vBulletin license allows you to use the software on your site for one year and gives you access to product updates for that year. After one year, the license may be renewed to continue using the software, or removed from the site.
Both licenses include unlimited free support via email.
From 2nd June the following prices will apply:
* Owned license - $180
* Leased license - $100
Bulk order pricing for both license types will remain consistent with the current discounting levels.
License Renewals
For a Leased license, it is necessary to purchase a license Renewal in order to continue to run vBulletin on your site. For Owned licenses, it is not necessary to renew in order to continue using vBulletin, but is required in order to extend access to software updates.
From the June 2nd, the following changes will be coming into effect:
* Leased license Renewal pricing will be $100.
* Owned license Renewal pricing will be:
o $40 if purchased before the license expires or within 60 days after expiry
o $60 if purchased at any other time
* vBulletin Renewals will now also renew linked add-on products (details below)
If a Renewal is purchased before the license expires, the existing expiry date is extended by one year. If the Renewal is purchased after the license expires, access to software updates is restored, and the expiry date will be set to one year from the date of Renewal purchase.
Follow the link for complete details of the price increase on vBulletin software.
It's software that's definitely worth the price! Even so, I hate with costs go up.

Rep Power: 1 | even personal Invision Power Board, the most expensive package now, will be cheaper if this price applied. the lifetime license worth $160, with 1 year free update and discount on major updates.
and, if you couldn't afford this package, go with myBB. this free pack function and looks like VB. | |

Rep Power: 1 | vBulletin is the best for SEO, features, and modifications. It is so advance. I guess the price will not effect the sales of it what so ever.

Rep Power: 1 | Also did you guys and gals know that once myBB actually copied vBulletin code. However legal action got it removed? I found this out not so long ago.

Rep Power: 6 | No, I'd not heard that! VB definitely is a hot product and it works! It's hard to still intellectual property now-a-days and NOT get caught!

Rep Power: 1 | I have been using myBB now. I like it. Obviously it's nothing prepared to vBulletin. However it is very simular.
I wouldn't use it if it's code was still copied, however a long time as passed since and the software as improved.

Rep Power: 1 | I've analyzed the code and find no similar codes. I analyze *and compare* 1.2.10 and vB 3.6.8.
*And meanwhile, I found so many cool easter eggs. I'll post it later. Now I'll post Invision's easter egg ^^*
