Okay, now, I'm actually thinking of buying vB when v3 comes out, but I have a little question regarding the liscenses...

...let's say I purchased a full or leased liscense. It says that it can only be used on one domain. Does that mean that I could move it to another domain and delete the older copy, or does that mean it stays where it is, and cannot be moved?

...I'm asking this because my web server currently has a 8GB bandwidth, and currently, with my (free) board, I've got a few hundred posts and quite a bit of users, and the bandwidth is already almost 1GB.

If my forum grows to have a few hundred users and about 15000 posts, about how much bandwidth would it take up?

You can move it to a new domain, jsut as long as you update your member records here at vbulletin to reflect the new domain. Be sure that after you move it, that you delete the existence of hte older one.

Thanks.:)

Do you know the answer to my second question?

Maybe 500ish MBs per month. There is really no number we can give you because it depends purely on how active your members are and whether or not you have compression enabled.

Compression enabled?

Is that a server setting or a vB setting?

A vB setting but your server will need to have ZLib compiled into PHP for it to work.
