What should I do?

Hello everyone,

Me and my partner are having a hard time picking which option we should choose:

Option #1
- Install SMF and the SMFShop system (created by a good friend of mine) and then import into vBulletin once we have the money. I don't think the points people earn from the SMFShop system would also be imported so that would be one of the disadvantages.

Option #2
- Wait till we have the funds to purchase a leased vBulletin license and install it as soon as we have it and also install uShop.


This decision is for the sake of our free cPanel hosting site in which we will plan to be run through the use of a forum. Links will be placed in the header leading to topics with information about hosting, TOS, about us, etc. We plan to make this a huge free cPanel hosting site with thousands of members and in return we will make all the money back (probably even more) from Adsense advertisements :D


Which option do you think is the best choice at this point, Option #1 or Option #2?

Thanks in advance :tu:

I would bluntly support the second option since it is much practical

Yeah, it sounds much easier but were itching to start the site really badly :D I guess we will have to wait till we have the funds :tu:

Thanks for your opinion!

A pretty pointless question really. Either way, you're gonna be spending the same amount of money, getting the same end result, and you've pretty much laid out your disadvantages and advantages.
