Multi Domains - License Agreement exceptions?

[Tannim]

Ref: [removed]

This have multiple domains, showing different forums ("hiding" others) all on the same forum/domain.

According to the following thread:
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=103150

It is not legal. What makes that forum different? Is there a special license needed to be excepted?

Then report it to http://www.vbulletin.com/piracy.php and let us deal with it :)

My apologies to those whom I have offended.

What I meant was ...

I want to run a setup like that. I have multiple products that I want to support. It would be easy to support them all on one forum. This means a category per product, and multiple forums per category for area specific in product.

That is what I want.

Then from different domains, (one per product), for support, I point them to that particular category on the forums website.

That depends on exactly how you set this up. If this is one overall forum and you are not trying to hide content based on domain, then one license may be acceptable. However if there is any 'hiding' at all, this will require separate licenses.

That is actually perfect. I dont want to hide any of the other forums at all. I'm even hoping a forums jumpbox is available so people can skip around to other categories whenever they feel like it.

Thanks for the answer :)

you can hide forums from the main display and let your visitors be on a specific forum for each of your domains, they can continue browsing the forum with the "Forum Jump" dropdown you actually see on the bottom of this page!

this is by default on vBulletin... i've done it a lot for multi-language boards.

then for each domain, you redirect them to something like "forumdisplay.php?f=10" ...this domain would be redirected to the forumid #10... :)

All thanks to Tannim for making this thread.

Anyway, I was just about to make a post regarding this so yeah. I've just bought a new domain for my site but I'm having it as a secondary domain so people can access it using any of the two domains which are: ffforums.net and finalfantasyforums.net. Is this alright or do I've to purchase another license just for the usage of my newly domain 'cause I've got no idea? And in case you're wondering, I've the new domain pointed to my main site by using the domain park feature which was performed by the Liquid Web team.

Here's more for what I'm talking about:
