why vbulletin?

[maddude]

i know this sounds dum but i really dont see the attraction to vbulletin, its not that good there are better scripts out there or you could develop your own of course and it costs for not much better stuff name 10 things each thats so good about vb apart from it making your company/site look rich lol riginal:

 

[maddude]

yes i agree on some of that but whot security and sort of features does it have that are only available in mods for other boards? :ermm:

 

[CheetahShrk]

1) Best security out there
2) Excellent support staff
3) Best templates out there
4) Best modifications out there
5) Most of the features that require hacks on other boards are built into vB by default.
6) Barely any effect on the server
7) Great Admin Panel
8) Easy import from other boards
9) Easy integration
10) Very well put together and organized.

There =)

Now if that was true about secruity, then how come I can take out a vbulletin forum easily...

 

[maddude]

hacker dont u dare this forum is valued and if you mean get one illegaly then shame on u

 

[maddude]

i did hear it'd been hacked and is now free for life but i dunno i hear the first version 1.0 was free but all this might be missleadingly wrong

 

[maddude]

vbulletin is kk but how is it really secure? :grin:

 

[nicholas]

vbulletin is good, but IPB is catching up.

 

[n4tec]

VB is great followed by IPB then phpBB......

Auvee, SMF has Quick reply. And those aren't mods

 

[chicago]

IPB has quick reply also

 

[Richard]

But how many people use it often?

7) ... Admin Panel

Thats the part I'm most intrested in 'cause there is no demo that I know of :getlost:

 

[n4tec]

@ Richard: Go to http://www.vbulletin.com/admindemo.php... they have a admin Panel.... I have used it!! It is the same as alll just that it is abit unique but not that unique.... You seem to not look yet it is there!!!

*4*

 

[Richard]

Yea I didn't look properly oops :blink:

 

[n4tec]

i played around in the admin panel and i accidentally deleted the admin!!! i hope you can access it if you can not i am so sorry about that!!!

*4*

 

[Richard]

Yea I had a quick run through (admin was there lol). I'm some what dissapointed.

 

[n4tec]

why were you disappionted?

*4*

If i were to get the 50+ Vb owned license which is 106 $, and i decided to begin vbfree and paid forum hosting... Would vbulletin sue me? Just asking!!!!

 

[Richard]

I was expecting some thing diffrent. As for your idea you would need to contact vB and ask them but I don't see a problem with that.

 

[n4tec]

@ Richard: yah the vb admin panel looks scary... I looks like the ring part 2!!! Is vb really that secure as many say? I think nothing is really secure !!!

i do not see a reason to contact them when i own the vb...

*4*

OFFTOPIC:

Sorry for being offtopic but i have too .....

@ Richard:
How is SAfrica?
How is Mandela?
How is the Nokia Face of Africa?
How many are from SAfrica?

 

[Richard]

I think nothing is really secure !!!

Very true. There is always some thing.

OFFTOPIC:

I sent a pm to keep things clean :happy:

 

[Maurice]

I don't really like the vBulletin admin panel cause it's not well organized.
