vBulletin Hacks and themes

[WuLabsWuTecH]

Is there a site that you can get vBulletin Hacks/Mods and styles for free?

I'm right now testing vBulletin out decideing if I want to use it or PHPBB, but I can't find any Mods/Hacks or styles out there that doesn't require you to input payment info.

Thanks

Well, if you want a personal opinion, the vB 3.5 series is very easy to modify. Most modifications don't require altering of the PHP source code. Styles also are a breeze to install.

 

[WuLabsWuTecH]

Yeah, but I'm looking for a way that I can test it out as I would test out PHPBB to make it a "fair test"

Trust me. If you're considering vBulletin, buy it. Although phpBB's great and all, I'd say vB beats it by far.

There's also this site that provides hacks for vBulletin.

but yea if you are comparing vB to phpbb i would suggest vB. and second ipb .. phpbb comes last in my list.

vBulletin.org is probably the biggest place to get mods/hacks at.

In other words, you've obtained an illegal copy of the vBulletin software and now want access to hacks that have been made available to paying customers?

May not be, its rude to just jump to conclusions, and its his problem not yours.

As a loyal supporter and paying customer of vBulletin I make it my business to report theives of their software, because it affects me. Companies can raise prices due to pirated versions of their software being distributed.

He said he's testing vBulletin. The only way to test it is to actually have your hands on the script. If he paid for it then he shouldn't need to ask about hacks that require payment info. Therefore I believe it's safe to say he's using a pirated version of the forum software.

That pretty much somes it up i think.

I personaly find it quite shameful that people resort to warez. Even if it is just to test it.
