My Honest Opinion

[Imakuni?]

I personally feel that vBulletin is a great product. I admin a board and just love it (http://forums.kyletech.us). I was wondering WHY it (vBulletin) is so expensive. And why Jelsoft doesnt Zend encode it (vBulletin) and release a trial version I think this would bring new customers and such. I hope to own my own license someday.

Hope you consider my idea...

$160 for a lifetime owned license is cheap. How much do Windows XP, Office or even computer games cost?

[Imakuni?]

xp is 100 for a home license

[Zachery]

Thats an upgrade, a full windows xp home license that is not an oem license is 200 USD, a Professional License is 300

At Best Buy, I bought a license for 99$ usd

sorry, but I don't buy that. Too many teens (I am an example) got a license when we were teens.

[Imakuni?]

heh. my parents dont trust paypal

I agree with ManagerJosh on this. Being a teen has nothing to do with your limitations. Be frugal, pick up a few chores for money, and sell some old things on eBay and collect the money and you'll be there in a few months.

Errr do they only accept paypal?

I don't really know since my co-owner was the one who paid

I see teens with Ipods.
An Ipod is more expensive than vB.

I see plenty of other things tese teens have $ for, if they really want it.
Comes down to priorities....
