    [Forum] Branding Free

    Apart from the obvious removal of the Vbulletin etc., What are the benefits of the branding free package?

    I bought a branding free years ago as to me it just looks more professional not having other company names branded onto your website. I also thought it would reduce the chances of competing sites using the same software. I finally closed that site down as it died but I use the software on another.

    Some people may use their site as a portfolio of work they can do and don't want to "give away" the fact that it wasn't all their own work.

      Personally I do not see any benefit from it. It is a waste of money imho.

        Ditto ... People who know any kind of forum / community software will recognize it as vbulletin one way or another ... I find it funny that people sometimes spend that sort of money for the branding free option and still have the "Powered by vBulletin" in their header, have template names in the source switched on and even still use /admincp and /modcp in its default location without password protection (using .htaccess) - so yea .. waste of money

            Well if it would be cheaper everyone would do that and I am sure IB wants to keep that as advertising

                It's offered because there is demand for it. If you really want that branding gone, it's available, if not, don't worry about it.
