it is illegal to host vBulletin, without all license to cover them plus i dont think vbulletin will alow a multihost

[Syd_M]

Nothing illegal going on here as far as I could tell. People really need to do their research first before making assumptions.

From the readme file on their vB signup page:

All free vBulletin forums are hosted on ONE forum installation. This is because the vBulletin license requirements don't allow multiple forums on one license, and licenses for multihosts are not sold.
Due to this you will not be able to get a unique forum subdomain as is the case with our phpBB and punBB hosting, but the extremly secure and featurefilled vBulletin software makes up for this easily.

As far as I know, that's perfectly in keeping with Jelsoft's TOS. If they have a valid license and they're using only one install -- not multiple installs, like some bogus hosters do -- then it's fine. I'm more disturbed by the fact that they're using Newgrounds' logo in their header, actually. It's a popular and easily identifiable logo, and unless you're affiliated with Newgrounds, using it on your site only gives the impression that you're unprofessional. ^^

Yes we are.

I hope not everyone thinks so. ^_^ Either way, a new logo will be replacing the current one soon.

[Syd_M]

That's good to know. I hope you don't take my criticisms about the header the wrong way -- I did stuff like that a lot when I first started out in web design (we learn by imitation, after all) -- but it's a different matter when you're trying to present yourself as something unique. All in all, I do like your site design -- it's pleasing to look at, and light on the browser/bandwidth. Good job, and good luck with your venture!

-P.S.- Ever think of expanding your forum script collection? There are quite a few good forum scripts out there that may appeal to folks, MyBB being one. ^^

[cyberdevil]

Not at all, it's good to know how the "customers" think.

As long as the forum solutions aren't too similar to the current ones, new choices are always welcome. If you know of any good forum hosting scripts I'd be happy to know where I can find them. There is currently only one, forum hosting script for myBB that I know of, and it's still unfinished.
