General vBulletin 6

[Shawn Gossman]

Picked me up a license of vBulletin 6.

Last time I used VB was when 3.8 was in, a LONG time ago, lol.

It's different. Lots of settings. They call everything channels, whereas XF calls everything nodes.

So far, I like it. I don't like it as much or more than XenForo, but I'm not unhappy with my purchase.

Features include a forum of course, user blogs, articles, and social groups. Definitely fully-featured.

Is anyone else trying vBulletin 6 at all?

I literally have never installed a vBulletin forum. Need to do that sometime just to check it out, but I’d probably never build a community on it.

I played around with their 7 day demo and kinda liked it. Looking forward to joining a forum running it

I have used vB in the past, but only vB5. I really dig your forum though @Shawn! I might try out vB6 and see if I like it enough to maybe use it for a future project I have in mind. Though this would be after I get enough money saved up.

And for the $180 that it is, that's for the life of vb6. No annual renewal for that version!

Are you planning to use it anywhere? I wouldn't mind joining a community with vBulletin as the software.

He has:

Home - Off Topic Forum

Off Topic Forum is a community where you can discuss whatever you want.

www.offtopicforum.com

I need to join it asap and test out the software.

I still have a vBulletin 4.2 license a friend let me borrow. Never heard from him again. I guess he knew vBulletin was doomed LOL I have "thought" about renewing my vB just to see what all the hype is about but I couldn't be bothered.

vBulletin was king taking over from UBB the original creator of the flat forum layout you see today. Until UBB everything was threaded using Matt Wright's wwwboard scripts.

With vb6 they are making a comeback.

I'm learning more and more about it each day.

It takes some getting used to at times.

Lots of little issues to figure out, too.
