rest assure, it's not free and it is expensive

vBulletin Leased License (lasts one year) is $85
vBulletin Owned License (unlimited amount of time) is $160

further you have vBulletin Leased License (branding free option (that will allow you to remove all Jelsoft/vBulletin references from the product) and professional installation (where a Jelsoft team member will install the software onto your server)) 135 and 120 bucks
and telephone support if you go premium from 60 to 300 bucks

then we haven't mentioned the servers, which need to accept php, mysql etc. and those servers don't come cheap either...

so... now you know it's not free and why we have ads here wink

To set up a board using vbulletin or something similar, you have to have your own server space -- the majority of free servers don't allow PHP and MySQL, which you need to run a board like this. And vbulletin you need to pay for, so it's not free. My server came with Invision board pre-installed on it, so I lucked out.

So to set up a good message board, you're going to have to shell out some cash.

well, you can take the one year licenced one for 85 (see if it picks up speed and then buy a new licenced or go for a owned one)

leave the leased licence and telephone support and it's already a lot cheaper... problem is finding a host of course

I know of a lot of decent hosts that aren't too expensive...my server plus one year registration for my domain name was $48 a year.
