It's an owned license. Ceros had purchased a copy a while ago for an RP'ing forum he was setting up, but apparently that bombed. Last year when I brought up the topic of moving off of ezboard he offered to let us use it.
So we renewed access to the vB Member area for thirty dollars, downloaded the newest version of vB and started going.
Removing the copyright on the bottom would require a separate $120 charge, IIRC.
When you buy vB, you get it for an unlimited amount of time, and you get access to the member area for a year. When you lease vB you get it for a year, then you have to renew to continue to use it. We are a purchased license, it's ours for as long as we want it. Hosting and a Doman Name are separate purchases that you have to do yourself.
So all together; how much would it cost to do something like what you guys have done? including the domain, ownership, and other crap. If im calculating correctly, its somewhere around 500 bucks.
No way! This board is using the liscense Hex had for that old board with Ming? Am I thinking of the same place? The place that only like 6 people ever posted at?
